Predisposing Factors for Congenital Hearing Loss: A Comprehensive Systematic Review.
Article in Turkish archives of otorhinolaryngology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This systematic review aimed to assess and integrate research on risk factors for congenital hearing loss (CHL), emphasizing genetic, infectious, perinatal, environmental, and sociodemographic influences. The review was prospectively registered with PROSPERO (CRD42022372879) and conducted according to PRISMA 2020 and PRISMA-S guidelines. A comprehensive search was performed across PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar using MeSH terms and free-text keywords related to CHL and its risk factors. Observational studies (cohort, case-control, cross-sectional) involving children with CHL and assessing genetic, infectious, perinatal, or environmental exposures were included. Data extraction was done independently by two reviewers, covering study characteristics, diagnostic methods, and measures of association (odds ratio, relative risk). Risk of bias was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for cohort/case-control studies and the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist for cross-sectional studies. Genetic factors such as
