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

Background: Systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) are known to predict the severity and prognosis of various diseases. However, their role in sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is unclear. Methods: This study collected 100 patients with SSNHL and 100 healthy volunteers. According to the severity, type, prognosis and SII and PNI levels of SSNHL, we used the Spearman linear correlation method to conduct correlation analysis. At the same time, we constructed logistic regression analysis to explore the predictive value of PNI and SII on the prognosis of SSNHL patients, and used ROC curves to verify the prognostic model. Cohen's d values were calculated for select significantly different parameters to assess effect sizes. Results: Compared with control group, PNI levels were significantly lowered in SSNHL patients, while SII levels were significantly higher. And a significant correlation was observed between the two variables ( Conclusion: In patients with SSNHL, PNI levels were significantly lowered, while SII levels were significantly higher. Furthermore, a negative correlation was observed between these two indicators. A negative correlation between PNI and SSNHL severity and a positive correlation between SII and severity were observed. These findings suggest that PNI and SII could serve as potential biomarkers for predicting SSNHL prognosis.
