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

Objectives: The aim of our study is to explore the predictive value of the short-course acoustic test in determining the efficacy of customized music therapy for chronic subjective tinnitus. Design: Patients with tinnitus as one of the core complaints were included from October 2022 to June 2024. According to the short-course acoustic test results, the participants were divided into three groups: tinnitus disappeared group, tinnitus relieved group and tinnitus unchanged group. All the participants indiscriminately underwent the 10-months of customized music therapy (CMT) and follow-up visits. Results: Before therapy, only the duration of tinnitus was significantly different among the three groups ( Conclusion: The short-course acoustic test to some extent can predict the efficacy of CMT in patients with chronic subjective tinnitus and can be used to guide clinical therapy.
