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

Introduction: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL) is a critical otologic emergency characterized by a rapid decline of at least 30 dB across three consecutive frequencies in the pure-tone audiogram within a 72-hour period. This audiological condition has been associated with alterations in brain cortical and subcortical structures, as well as changes in brain functional activities involving multiple networks. However, the extent of cerebral intrinsic brain activity disruption in SSHL remains poorly understood. The aimed of this study is to investigate intrinsic brain activity alterations in SSHL using static and dynamic fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (fALFF) analysis. Methods: Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data were acquired from a cohort of SSHL patients (unilateral, Results: Our analysis revealed significant differences in static fALFF patterns between SSHL patients and healthy controls. SSHL patients exhibited decreased fALFF in the left fusiform gyrus, left precentral gyrus, and right inferior frontal gyrus, alongside increased fALFF in the left inferior frontal gyrus, left superior frontal gyrus, and right middle temporal gyrus. Additionally, dynamic fALFF analysis demonstrated elevated fALFF in the right superior frontal gyrus and right middle frontal gyrus among SSHL patients. Intriguingly, we observed a positive correlation between static fALFF in the left fusiform gyrus and the duration of hearing loss, shedding light on potential temporal dynamics associated with intrinsic brain activity changes. Discussion: The observed disruptions in intrinsic brain activity and temporal dynamics among SSHL patients provide valuable insights into the functional reorganization and potential compensatory mechanisms linked to hearing loss. These findings underscore the importance of understanding the underlying neural alterations in SSHL, which could pave the way for the development of targeted interventions and rehabilitation strategies aimed at optimizing SSHL management.
