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

purposeTo examine the effects of Cognitive Auditory Training (CAT) and Musical Auditory Training (MAT) on the self-perception of adults with tinnitus.

methodsPreliminary comparative clinical, interventional and longitudinal study, approved by the Ethics Committee of Research at Federal University of Santa Maria under protocol number 5.746.241. The study included 29 adults of both sexes with tinnitus and normal results in a basic audiological evaluation. Participants were divided into three groups: 13 individuals in the CAT group, eight in the MAT group, and eight in the placebo intervention group. Scores for Disturbance and Loudness on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS D and VAS L) and the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) were analyzed before and after the interventions. The Wilcoxon test was used for pre- and post-intervention comparisons, with a significance level of 5%.

resultsIn the CAT group, statistically significant differences were observed for VAS D, VAS L, and THI. In the MAT group, significant differences were found for VAS D and THI. In the placebo group, statistically significant differences were observed for VAS D and THI.

conclusionImprovements in symptom perception were observed across all three groups. However, CAT demonstrated greater effectiveness, showing improvements in all assessed aspects.
