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

backgroundThis paper presents the results of an interdisciplinary study at the Universidad de la República (Uruguay), in which hearing loss is assessed in a group of academic musicians, including lyric singers, choristers, and orchestral musicians.

methodsAudiometric records from 137 academic musicians were analyzed. The Average Hearing Loss (PAM) methodology, based on Lafon and Duclos combined with the ISO 1999:2013 Standard, was used to convert all the registers to the hearing loss at the age of 35, which were then organized into a permanence curve and compared with reference curves from the ISO 1999:2013 Standard. RESULTS AND

conclusionThe results presented here are estimated to represent more than 27 % of the total population of adult academic musicians nationwide. The findings suggest that academic musicians in Uruguay are at a higher risk of noise-induced hearing loss than the general population in the ISO 1999:2013 Standard.
