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.
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
Objective: Hearing phenotype of the congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV)-infected children with isolated sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) may be distinct from other types of SNHL and may provide an alternative approach for diagnosis. Study Design: A retrospective cohort study. Setting: Hearing test results of SNHL patients between 2006 and 2022 at Primary Children's Hospital and patients with the following conditions were included: cCMV with isolated SNHL, connexin 26 mutation, enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA), and idiopathic. Methods: Using 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) tests, we compared each patient's first reliable hearing threshold from 250 to 4000 Hz. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic (AUROC) curves was calculated for hearing measures in the cCMV and idiopathic groups. The Youden index was then obtained to determine a prediction model for cCMV infection. Finally, plots of various parameters over time were evaluated to compare the cCMV and idiopathic groups. Results: A total of 72 patients were evaluated (cCMV: 19; connexin 26: 13; EVA: 24; and idiopathic: 16). The ANOVA test indicated the cCMV group tended to display greater hearing threshold asymmetry ( Conclusion: cCMV-infected children with isolated SNHL can present differently from the other causes of SNHL. The AUROC analysis suggests that a PTA difference greater than 58.6 dB may provide a prediction model to distinguish cCMV from other types of SNHL.
