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

backgroundManaging sudden deafness (SD) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is particularly challenging due to the heightened risk of adverse effects associated with systemic drug administration. This study explores the potential of retroauricular subperiosteal injection as a localized drug delivery method for a more effective and safe treatment.

aimTo compare the efficacy of retroauricular subperiosteal injection

methodsA total of 128 cases of type 2 DM (T2DM) with SD diagnosed and treated in Zibo Central Hospital from February 2021 to July 2023 were divided into two groups: An observation group (66 cases receiving retroauricular subperiosteal injection of methylprednisolone) and a control group (62 cases receiving systemic intravenous administration of methylprednisolone). The two groups were compared in terms of therapeutic efficacy, hearing recovery, blood glucose level changes, and incidence of adverse reactions. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting therapeutic efficacy.

resultsThe observation group showed a significantly higher total effective rate (90.91%) compared with the control group (75.81%,

conclusionIn treating patients with diabetes and SD, retroauricular subperiosteal injection of methylprednisolone offers superior therapeutic efficacy and lower incidence of adverse reactions compared with systemic intravenous GC administration, with minimal impact on blood glucose.
