1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Vitiligo associated auditory problems have been reported in some patients. Few studies had reported the audiological manifestations. This studyaimed to assess the auditory and cochlear function in non-segmental vitiligo patients. This case control study was carried out on 120 subjects. Participants were divided into; Group 1, which consisted of 60 adults suffering from non-segmental vitiligo, and Group 2, consisting of 60 healthy adults as a control group. Dermatological evaluation was by VIDA (Vitiligo Index of Disease Activity) and VASI (Vitiligo Area Scoring Index) scores. Otoscopic examination, Basic Audiological Evaluation, and Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAEs) were assessed in all participants. Pure tone audiometry (PTA) was calculated in both ears at different frequencies (250-8000 Hz) and results showed significantly lower thresholds at all tested frequencies in the control group when compared with the study group. DPOAEs, result showed significant lower DPOAE in both right and left ears of the patients with non-segmental vitiligo when compared with normal hearing control group. Hearing evaluation procedures revealed lower hearing threshold of the inner ears in patients with non-segmental vitiligo when compared with control groups.
