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

backgroundSomatosensory tinnitus is associated with functional disorders of the cervical spine and/or temporomandibular joint region. Manual medicine can be helpful here. However, the diagnostic criteria for somatosensory tinnitus can only partly be derived from the specific anamnesis; in some cases, clinical manual examination techniques are also necessary. The aim of this work was to design a pragmatic screening instrument for somatosensory tinnitus that can be carried out in the ENT practice with a seated patient. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn a modified Delphi procedure, a group of manual medicine specialists and otorhinolaryngologists identified suitable manual medicine procedures and evaluated them for their feasibility in the ENT practice.

resultsThe SOMASENSO check is a pragmatic examination tool that makes it easier for otorhinolaryngologists to identify potential somatosensory tinnitus patients.

conclusionThe technical difficulty and lack of test-retest reliability of many manual segmental function tests has led to a focus on the detection of movement disorders, pain, and tinnitus modulation.
