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

Aims: The present study was designed to compare the threshold estimation with Auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) using two stimuli, click and LS CE-Chirp and behavioral thresholds in men with noise induced hearing loss (NIHL). Materials and methods: The ABR test was performed for 32 men, with a mean age of 36.06 years and moderate hearing loss in high frequencies. Threshold was considered as the lowest intensity at which wave V could be identified and reproduced in two repeated measurements. For data analysis, Wilcoxon test was used for comparing the thresholds obtained from the two stimuli and spearman's test assessed the relationship between behavioral thresholds and those recorded by two stimuli. Results: The mean wave V threshold for the LS CE-Chirp stimulus was significantly lower than that for the click stimulus ( Conclusions: The present study demonstrated that threshold estimation with LS CE-Chirp stimulus can be obtained with a higher correlation and smaller difference from behavioral threshold in mid and low frequencies. Therefore, LS CE-Chirp can be used as a valuable stimulus for more accurate threshold estimation in individuals with noise induced hearing loss who do not cooperate in conventional pure-tone audiometry and referred to otolaryngologists for forensic follow-ups related to compensation claims.
