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

A recommendation from a series of Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ) ear and hearing health hui was to summarise literature in ear, hearing, and vestibular health to inform future strategic directions. We aimed to conduct a scoping review of ear, hearing, and vestibular health literature in NZ over the past 50 years, with a particular focus on equity research in underserved communities. The review was undertaken using PRISMA guidelines and managed using Covidence. Several databases were searched, and data charting and extraction processes occurred for consensus.
