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: To investigate the influence of hearing loss on the efficacy of personalized and customized music therapy in patients with chronic tinnitus. Methods: A total of 147 patients with chronic tinnitus were included in the research; according to the pure-tone average (PTA) test results (PTA at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 kHz), the patients were classified into three groups: PTA ≤ 25 dB (normal hearing), 25 < PTA ≤ 60 dB (mild to moderate hearing loss), and PTA > 60 dB (severe hearing loss); all patients have received personalized and customized music therapy for 3 months. Electronic questionnaires of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-A, HADS-D), Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), Insomnia Severity Index Scale (ISI), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in the complete follow-up system were used to evaluate the therapeutic effects on the efficacy of music therapy. Results: The results showed that HADS-A, HADS-D, THI, ISI, and VAS scores after 3 months of therapy were lower than those before treatment in the PTA ≤ 25 dB group ( Conclusions: Personalized and customized music therapy is effective for chronic tinnitus patients with normal hearing or mild to moderate hearing loss. Hearing loss levels exerted an impact on the efficacy of personalized music therapy; the efficacy of patients with severe hearing loss is worse than that of patients with normal hearing or mild to moderate hearing loss. Appropriate hearing remedial therapy is essential to improve the efficacy of personalized, customized music therapy before receiving music therapy.
