The value of inflammatory biomarkers in the occurrence and prognosis of sudden sensorineural hearing loss: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis 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, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

12 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it.

Abstract
objectivesSudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is one of the common emergencies in otorhinolaryngology. Several studies have shown that chronic inflammation is associated with its onset and prognosis. However, the association between some inflammatory biomarkers and SSNHL is still unclear. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to explore the value of inflammatory biomarkers in the occurrence and prognosis of SSNHL.
methodsPubmed, Embase, Cochrane and Web of Science databases were searched comprehensively, the eligible literatures were screened out by formulating the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria. After extracting sample size, mean and standard deviation, we performed meta-analysis with standardized mean deviation (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) as effect sizes.
resultsA total of 17 articles were included in this meta-analysis, including 2852 subjects, 1423 patients and 1429 healthy controls. The results of meta-analysis showed that the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) of the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group (SMD = 1.05, 95% CI 0.87-1.24, P < 0.001), the NLR of the recovery group was significantly lower than the unrecovered group (SMD = 0.68, 95% CI 0.27-1.08, P < 0.05); The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) of the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group (SMD = 0.55, 95% CI 0.34-0.76, P < 0.05), the PLR of the recovery group was significantly lower than the unrecovered group (SMD = 0.44, 95% CI 0.05-0.82, P < 0.05); The C-reactive protein-to-serum albumin ratio (CRP/Alb) of the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group (SMD = 0.39, 95% CI 0.04-0.74, P < 0.05).
conclusionsThe results showed that high NLR, PLR, and CRP/Alb indicated the occurrence of SSNHL, NLR and PLR could predict prognosis of SSNHL.
