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

The main etiology of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is uncertain and vascular problems have been proposed as one of the underlying factors in this disease. Patients with SSNHL and people without any hearing or ear disorders as the control group were included in the study (aged 18-65 years). Clinical examination, pure tone audiometry, and color doppler ultrasound of the neck vessels were performed for all patients and control subjects, on both sides, to check blood flow, peak systolic velocity (PSV), vascular diameter, and intima-media thickness (IMT) in the common carotid (CCA), vertebral (VA), and internal carotid arteries (ICA). Thirty-three patients and 33 control subjects enrolled in the study. Comparing ultrasonography findings in the involved and non-involved side in the patients' group, blood flow in the VA and CCA was 85.66 (33.52), 113.42 (40.26) and 390 (431.5-358.0), 405 (437.0-339.0), respectively, and IMT in the ICA and CCA was 0.7 (0.6-0.8), 0/6 (0.5-0.7), and the differences were statistically significant (
