Audiologic Characteristics of Military Service Members and Veterans With and Without Tinnitus and Comorbid Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate audiologic characteristics of service members (SMs) and veterans who have tinnitus alone or have both tinnitus and posttraumatic stress disorder (T&P), as compared to healthy controls.
methodParticipants included active duty military SMs and veterans with both T&P (
resultsPure-tone and speech audiometry results between the TO and TP groups did not significantly differ. Compared to the TO group, the T&P group reported significantly greater functional impairment due to their tinnitus, perceived their tinnitus as significantly more annoying, and endorsed significantly less acceptance of their tinnitus. Although not statistically significant, participants in the T&P group perceived their tinnitus louder than those in the TO group.
conclusionsStudy findings suggest that PTSD is associated with increased tinnitus distress and annoyance. Symptoms of PTSD may also reduce the capacity to accept tinnitus. These results are consistent with previous studies that demonstrate the additive and negative effects that PTSD may have on health conditions, such as tinnitus. Clinicians within audiology clinics may consider screening specifically for PTSD and make appropriate referrals to behavioral health. Future studies should examine the best sequence of interventions for efficient and effective clinical outcomes among individuals with both conditions.
