Review in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1993. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

The present paper reviews possible molecular and cellular mechanisms in the cochlea that might contribute to tinnitus. They constitute a part of a highly integrated network in cochlear sound processing and are divided for easier understanding into three different models, i.e. active motor tinnitus, transduction tinnitus and signal-transfer tinnitus. Some of the steps of the pathophysiological models can even be pharmacologically influenced (as exemplified by experimental applications of lidocaine, calcium channel blocker, benzodiazepine, glutamate and atropine). This provides a rationale for the efficient suppression of tinnitus in some patients by these drugs. The most evident problem of all models in tinnitus, including the ones proposed in this paper, is the lack of objective verification by measurement. Thus, the well-defined clinical situation of each patient is hardly attributable to one of the models suggested. In addition, adequate therapy--perhaps one of the drugs considered--still cannot be based upon a reliable clinical finding.
