Evaluation of Prognostic Scores in Adult Patients with Idiopathic Sudden Hearing Loss.
Article in Journal of clinical practice and research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objective: The pathophysiology of sudden hearing loss remains poorly understood. Research aimed at elucidating its etiology is crucial for the early diagnosis and treatment of patients. This study aimed to clarify the role of inflammation in the etiology of sudden hearing loss, which remains poorly understood, by analyzing the C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) values associated with inflammatory processes. Materials and Methods: A chart review of patients with idiopathic sudden hearing loss admitted to the hospital between January 2019 and December 2020 was conducted. The study included 35 patients with this condition and 30 healthy individuals for comparison. The significance level was set at p<0.05. Results: The mean age of the patient group was 48.26, while the mean age of the healthy group was 44.04. In the patient group, 15 were female, and 20 were male. Significant differences were observed in NLR, CAR, and SII values between the recovery and non-recovery idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) groups. The non-recovery group exhibited higher NLR (3.40±0.20), CAR (0.70±0.09), and SII (687.9±76.8) values (with p-values of 0.021, 0.026, and 0.038, respectively). In the ISSHL group, NLR exhibited approximately 87% sensitivity when above 3.41, while SII demonstrated approximately 69.6% sensitivity when exceeding 650.39. (p=0.038 and p=0.037, respectively). Conclusion: The levels of NLR and SII index might help predict early outcomes in sudden hearing loss of unknown cause.
