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

Hearing loss is a significant but often under-recognized complication in pediatric HIV-positive patients. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and types of hearing loss, their correlation with CD4 + counts, and the potential impact of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in this population. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 50 pediatric HIV-positive patients aged 5-17 years attending a tertiary care hospital. Audiological assessments included Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA), Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions (DPOAE), and Impedance Audiometry. Data were analyzed to determine the prevalence and type of hearing loss, and correlations with CD4 + counts and ART regimens were explored. Hearing loss was identified in 21% of the ears examined (
