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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the prevalence of misophonia among university students, examine its relationship with hyperacusis and tinnitus and explore the sensory processing patterns of individuals with misophonia in comparison to the control group.

methodsBased on the Misophonia Questionnaire severity scores, 81 clinical misophonia and 163 subclinical misophonia patients and 60 matched healthy-controls participated the study and evaluated with the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory, Khalfa Hyperacusis Questionnaire and the Dunn Adult/Adolescent Sensory Profile questionnaire.

resultsThe incidence of clinical misophonia was 19 per cent. The clinical misophonia group had significantly higher sensory-sensitivity and sensation-avoiding scores and lower low-registration scores (Mann-Whitney U-test with Bonferroni correction;

conclusionsFindings indicate that misophonia involves heightened sensitivity and avoidance not only in auditory but also in movement, visual, touch and activity-related sensory areas, suggesting it is a complex atypical multisensory condition rather than purely audiological or psychiatric.
