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

Objective: This study describes outcomes of a pilot age-related hearing loss screening program implemented in two Family Medicine and three Otolaryngology (ENT) clinics at the Medical University of South Carolina, in terms of postscreening follow-up and associations of screening with hearing health care use. Methods: Screening questions focused on perceived hearing, treatment, and desire for audiology referral. Hearing health care use, determined by diagnostic and procedural codes, was defined as at least one visit to audiology clinics within 1 year of screening. We used logistic regression models to determine associations of screening with hearing health care use among patients seen in Family Medicine and ENT clinics, separately. Results are presented as odds ratios with corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Key Results: Screened ( Conclusions: Hearing screening among older adults could facilitate timely identification and management of hearing loss.
