Characteristics of tinnitus in workers exposed to occupational noise: a systematic review.

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
Tinnitus is an auditory symptom characterized by the perception of sound without an external source and is often associated with occupational noise exposure. This study aimed to analyze the possible characteristics of tinnitus in workers exposed to occupational noise. This is a systematic literature review conducted by researchers who independently performed the search and analysis of articles. Searches were conducted in the PubMed, Embase, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), Scopus, and Web of Science databases as well as Google Scholar, used as a source of gray literature. The review question was: "What are the characteristics of tinnitus in workers exposed to occupational noise?" Descriptors were selected from the Medical Subject Headings and the Health Sciences Descriptors. A total of 1,002 studies were identified, and after analysis, only 7 were included in the review. Studies indicated that tinnitus was predominantly perceived in both ears, with a high-pitched tone. Loudness was classified as mild to moderate. The type of tinnitus was described as a "whistle" or "hissing." Periodicity was mostly intermittent. In individuals exposed to occupational noise, tinnitus is bilateral, high-pitched, mild to moderate in loudness, tonal, and intermittent. Monitoring tinnitus and its characteristics in workers is essential for auditory and mental health.
