SARS-CoV-2 infection and profound hearing loss: much more than a coincidence.
Article in Einstein (Sao Paulo, Brazil), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo describe a series of cases in which severe acute respiratory (SARS-CoV-2) infection was associated with profound sensorineural hearing loss. Our data provides extensive evidence that COVID-19 infections can cause sensorineural hearing losses.
methodsThis study included seven patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss caused by COVID-19. Patients were subjected to clinical evaluation, COVID-19 symptoms, and audiological tests.
resultsBrief clinical histories and audiological tests were performed. The current condition of the patients was also considered. Theories of the possible causes of inner ear changes are also discussed.
conclusionThis study demonstrates that the world continues to grapple with the far-reaching consequences of COVID-19, and it becomes evident that the impact extends beyond the immediate respiratory distress.
