Congenital deafness: from screening to management.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Congenital deafness represents a major global health challenge, impacting both communication skills and social integration. The results of epidemiological observations show variable prevalence rates, influenced by genetic and environmental factors. The pathophysiological processes involve abnormalities of the auditory system resulting from genetic mutations, prenatal infections, and exposure to ototoxic substances. Diagnostic approaches are multidisciplinary, combining audiological, genetic, and imaging assessments. Management options include the use of hearing aids, cochlear implants, therapies, and educational assistance, with a strong focus on the importance of early intervention. The implementation of universal newborn hearing screening programs plays a crucial role in early detection, although there are disparities. Future research efforts should focus on understanding genetic and environmental contributions, as well as developing innovative screening and intervention strategies. Collaboration between healthcare professionals, researchers, policymakers, and educators is essential to ensure equal and adequate care and support for people with congenital deafness. This comprehensive review synthesizes the current state of the art on congenital deafness, covering topics such as epidemiology, pathophysiology, etiology, diagnostic methods, management strategies, screening procedures, and future directions.
