Effect of a Tinnitus Sound Therapy Application on Tinnitus Relief.
Article in Yonsei medical journal, 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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a smartphone-based sound therapy application in patients with chronic subjective tinnitus. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 121 participants were recruited, and 72 were included in the final analysis. Participants were instructed to use a sound therapy application on their personal smartphones for 6 months. Assessments were conducted at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. Outcome measures included tinnitogram, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), tinnitus-related subjective measures (loudness, annoyance, and stress), and two-channel electroencephalography (EEG).
resultsThe mean age of participants was 53.36±11.79 years, with an average tinnitus duration of 49-58 months. Significant improvements were observed over time. THI scores decreased significantly (
conclusionSmartphone-based sound therapy may reduce tinnitus-related distress and psychological symptoms. Further studies are needed to confirm long-term effects and generalizability.
