Profound Sensorineural Hearing Loss Following Typhoid Fever in a Young Adult Female: A Rare Complication.

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
Typhoid fever, caused by Salmonella Typhi and Salmonella Paratyphi A, remains endemic in Nepal. Typhoid fever can affect nearly all systems of the body, leading to various complications; however, sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) remains an exceptionally rare occurrence. This case report describes a 24-year-old female school teacher who presented with an 8-day history of fever, followed by a 6-day history of bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus. She was diagnosed with typhoid fever based on a positive Widal test and was treated with intravenous antibiotics, antipyretics, and oral steroids, but her hearing did not improve. She was referred to a tertiary center for further evaluation, where she was diagnosed with profound SNHL. A cochlear implant was recommended but declined by the patient due to financial constraints and uncertainty regarding the outcome. This case highlights the need for further research into the pathogenesis and treatment of SNHL associated with typhoid fever.
