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

Patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) may lose their hearing. The relationship between SSNHL and total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels is still unclear. The association of TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C levels with the risk and prognosis of SSNHL was explored in this study. After searching for literature in different databases, 13 researches were used to summarize the risk and prognosis of SSNHL associations with TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C using meta-analysis. Total cholesterol had a significant association with the risk of SSNHL (95% CI, 1.34-2.91). Adjustment for confounding factors and grouping criteria of TG were all significant sources of heterogeneity. One of the significant sources of heterogeneity in the LDL-C subgroup analyses was an adjustment for confounders. Sensitivity analysis revealed a robust association between TC and the risk of SSNHL. There was a significant publication bias in the association between TC and SSNHL prognosis High TC level is a risk factor for SSNHL.
