Prevalence of Hearing Loss After Open-Heart Surgery: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Brazilian journal of cardiovascular surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionToday, due to the increase in the incidence of heart problems in people, we see an increase in the number of heart surgeries worldwide. Hearing disorders in the form of hearing loss have been reported as one of the side effects of this kind of surgery in some studies. Considering the evidence of the effect of open-heart surgery on patients' hearing loss, this systematic review study was conducted to determine the frequency of hearing loss after open-heart surgery.
methodsTo carry out this systematic review, studies that investigated hearing loss after open-heart surgery in Iran and the rest of world, published in Persian or English, and various international electronic databases including PubMed®, Web of Science, Scopus®, and authentic Persian sources (e.g., Irandoc and Scientific Information Database) until the end of 2021 have been indexed.
resultsIn the initial review, 46 of the 2230 initially searched articles had the conditions for further review. After checking the articles' title and abstract and the working method of the studies and removing duplicates and incomplete articles, a total of 16 articles were included in the study. Then, their results were analyzed as the frequency of hearing loss after open-heart surgery by age and sex.
conclusionThe review of various studies confirms the fact that after open-heart surgery, the existence of evidence of hearing changes is not far from expected.
