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
backgroundMusical hallucinations have a great impact on a patient's life, but because of the rare frequency of occurrence and multiple causes, not enough research has been conducted on this topic yet, especially in Korea. Many patients with musical hallucinations have audiological and otologic problems. This study investigated the clinical manifestations of musical hallucinations in patients.
methodsThe authors retrospectively analyzed clinical data from patients with musical hallucinations who visited the outpatient clinic of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at Severance Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea, for 7 years, from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2021.
resultsSeven of 9 patients were female, the average age was 67.1 (52-89) years, and post-lingual hearing loss was diagnosed in all patients. They listened to songs 1-3 over and over again for 5.4 (±6.1) years. Four patients had chronic otitis media or underwent tympanomastoidectomy surgery because of chronic otitis media. Audiological rehabilitation was performed, including cochlear implantation surgery, in one patient.
conclusionIn most cases, patients with musical hallucinations had audiological and otologic symptoms. Therefore, when patients complaining of musical hallucinations visit the hospital, it is essential to perform an audiological and otologic evaluation, and treatment for their symptoms should be considered.
