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

objectivesWe aimed to analyze auditory involvement in patients with Behcet's disease and its association with Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography findings and disease manifestations.

methodsThis study included 54 eyes and 68 ears of 34 adults with Behcet's disease in comparison to 30 eyes and 60 ears of healthy controls. Clinical, laboratory and ophthalmological evaluation including Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography was done. Audiological assessment included otoscopic examination, immitancemetry and pure tone and speech audiometry.

resultsSensorineural hearing loss was observed in 32.35% of the studied cases. Behcet's disease patients showed significantly higher average hearing level and significant reduction of retinal vessel density compared to controls. Patients with sensorineural hearing loss demonstrated significantly lower central retinal capillary vessel density and higher neuro-Behcet's disease incidence in comparison to those without hearing loss (p-value = 0.039 and 0.024, respectively), which was confirmed by univariate regression analysis. After entering significant factors into the multivariate model, neuro-BD was identified as the most significant single predictor of sensorineural hearing loss in BD (p-value = 0.003).

conclusionsThe association between sensorineural hearing loss and central retinal vessel density reduction and neuro- Behcet's disease should be considered in Behcet's disease.
