A scoping review of tinnitus research undertaken by New Zealand researchers: Aotearoa-an international hotspot for tinnitus innovation and collaboration.
Review in Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.

Abstract
Tinnitus is a very common oto-neurological disorder of the perception of sound when no sound is present. To improve understanding of the scope, strengths and weaknesses of New Zealand tinnitus research, a critical scoping review was undertaken. The aim was to help develop priorities for future research. A review of the literature was undertaken using a 6-stage scoping review framework of Scopus and Pub Med were searched in May 2023 with the combination of following key word [Tinnitus] and country of affiliation [New Zealand]. The search of PubMed resulted in 198 articles and that of Scopus 337 articles. After initial consideration of title relevance to the study (165 from PubMed and 196 from Scopus) removal of duplicates and after reading the articles and adding from references, 208 studies were chosen for charting of data. Nine themes were identified and described: A. Epidemiology; B. Models; C. Studies in animals; D. Mechanisms; E. Assessment and prognosis; F. Pharmacotherapy; G. Neuromodulation; H. Sensory therapies; I. Clinical practice. An urgent priority for future tinnitus research in NZ must be to address the absence of cultural and ethnic diversity in participants and consideration of traditional knowledge.
