What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo compare audiological profiling and association of hearing loss in different types of IBD and evaluate the degree of hearing impairment based on duration of illness and age parameters.
methods120 subjects evaluated at a tertiary centre were divided into 2 groups- Controls and Cases. Cases were sub grouped into Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease based on biopsy. Hearing evaluation was done using PTA and DPOAE. Results were compared between the groups with analysis including duration of illness and age at presentation.
resultsMild hearing loss at 8000 Hz was noted in both the subgroups, more so in UC. The median dB loss on PTA was more in the UC group at all the frequencies but was significant only at 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 Hz. 53(44.1%) of the 120 ears, showed mild hearing loss at 8000 Hz on PTA. The median SNR was lower in both subgroups at 8000 Hz. At 8000 Hz on DPOAE, 80 ears (66.6%) showed absent response which was much higher as compared to PTA findings at this frequency. At 8000 Hz, patients with > 5 years duration of illness and those with age > 30 years, showed higher absent DPOAE responses namely 25 ears (83.4%) out of 30 ears and 56 ears (80%) of 70, respectively.
conclusionUC cases are more susceptible to hearing loss compared to Crohn's disease especially at 8000 Hz. DPOAE supersedes PTA as a diagnostic tool for subclinical hearing loss.
