Vitamin D Deficiency as a Risk Factor for Onset and Recurrence of Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Prospective Cohort Study With Age-Specific Analysis.

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
The link between Vitamin D (Vit D) deficiency and sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL), especially regarding recurrence and age-related disparities, remains unclear. Recurrence and age-specific risks of SSNHL are under addressed, limiting preventive strategies. This study investigated if Vit D deficiency increases SSNHL onset and recurrence risks, with a focus on age-specific associations. In this prospective cohort study, 80 adult SSNHL patients and 60 matched controls were enrolled. All patients received standard therapy. Baseline serum 25(OH)D was measured, Vit D deficiency or insufficient patients were randomized in a single-blind manner to receive 3-month Vit D supplementation. We monitored Vit D levels, hearing recovery (pure-tone audiometry at 10 days and 3 months), recurrence, and associated symptoms. Vit D deficiency was more prevalent in SSNHL patients than controls (38.8% vs. 10.0%,
