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

The assessment of hearing in children is important, as hearing deficits can impair child development. The Auditory Steady-State Response (ASSR) is an electrophysiological technique that is able to simultaneously evaluate both ears at four frequencies, making it advantageous for testing children where the test time needs to be as short as possible. The objective of this work was to perform a literature review on the effectiveness of ASSR to gauge hearing thresholds in babies, infants, and children, examining its ability to distinguish mild hearing loss from normal cases. This review used PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases from 2014 to 2024. A total of 1226 articles were identified, although only 16 met the previously established inclusion criteria. It was found that ASSR is a reliable diagnostic tool for babies, infants, and children. Recent work appears better able to distinguish mild hearing loss from normal hearing. One unresolved aspect that needs additional attention is the effectiveness of using bone-conducted stimuli.
