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

backgroundMutations in the GJB2 gene, which encodes the protein connexin 26 and is involved in inner ear homeostasis, are identified in approximately 50% of patients with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss, making it one of the primary causes of prelingual nonsyndromic hearing loss in various populations. The 35delG mutation, one of the most common mutations of the GJB2 gene, usually causes prelingual, bilateral mild to profound, nonprogressive sensorineural hearing loss. CASE PRESENTATION: We present an unusual case of an 18-year-old Turkish female with heterozygous 35delG mutation and postlingual, profound-sloping, progressive and fluctuating unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The phenotype is different from the usual findings.

conclusionsThe 35delG mutation causing hearing loss may not always be reflected in the phenotype as expected and therefore may have different audiologic manifestations.
