Sedation Methods in Paediatric Auditory Electrophysiologic Testing: A Narrative Review.
Review in Audiology research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Implementing neonatal hearing screening has significantly reduced the age at which hearing impairments are detected in children. Nevertheless, objective electrophysiological assessments, such as auditory brainstem response (ABR) or auditory steady-state response (ASSR) testing, are often necessary for children older than six months. These evaluations should be conducted while the child is asleep to obtain accurate and interpretable results, as movement and muscle activity can introduce artifacts that compromise the quality of the recordings. In this narrative review, we evaluate sedation strategies in paediatric procedures, focusing on the efficacy, safety, and practicality of agents/routes for inducing sleep during ABR/ASSR testing. Sedation choices should prioritise patient safety, clinical context, and result reliability and be tailored to the individual's age, health status, and procedural needs.
