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

objectiveTo determine the impact of a referral protocol for very low birth weight (VLBW) infants and document the incidence rate of late onset hearing loss. STUDY

designRetrospective study (2003-2015) of post-discharge hearing outcomes and risk factors in the VLBW infant population, before and after the institution of a standardized follow-up program. Risk factors were compared between cases and matched controls.

resultsLate onset hearing loss detection increased from 2.2 per 100 VLBW infants to 6.9 per 100 post standardization. The follow-up compliance rate nearly doubled. The age at diagnosis decreased from 31 to 12 months postnatal age. The detection of conductive loss increased four-fold, while sensorineural hearing loss remained unchanged.

conclusionA significant proportion late onset hearing loss in VLBW infants is conductive, which can negatively impact speech and language development. A standardized process is essential for early detection and optimal outcomes.
