Brief Acoustic Tinnitus Suppression as a Diagnostic Procedure in Clinical Routine: Feasibility and Results.
Article in Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology : JARO, 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
Brief acoustic tinnitus suppression (BATS) is a well-known phenomenon among tinnitus patients. Most knowledge about BATS comes from experiments applying filtered, modulated, or customized stimuli in selected patient populations. Testing BATS in clinical routine could provide valuable information for patient subtyping and assistance in treatment decision-making. Here, we investigated the feasibility of BATS tests beyond controlled experimental settings. Seventy individuals with tinnitus (29 female) were tested for BATS using white noise as part of a first consultation visit at the Interdisciplinary Tinnitus Center in Regensburg. The procedure turned out to be feasible under clinical routine conditions. Thirty-five patients (50%) reported some form of tinnitus suppression, with 6 (8.6%) reporting at least 50% reduction and 1 (1.4%) complete absence of their tinnitus percept. The degree of suppression was rated as relevant improvement by most patients. In summary, the integration of BATS assessments was feasible and provided valuable information about the patients' tinnitus.
