Prospective Study of Dietary Patterns and Hearing Threshold Elevation.

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
We conducted a prospective study of dietary patterns and longitudinal change in audiometric hearing thresholds among 3,135 women (mean age = 59 years) in the Nurses' Health Study II (2012-2018). Diet adherence scores for the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) and Alternate Mediterranean (AMED) diets and the Alternate Healthy Eating Index 2010 (AHEI-2010) were calculated using validated food-frequency questionnaires. Baseline and 3-year follow-up hearing sensitivities were assessed by pure-tone audiometry at 19 US sites. We used multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models to examine independent associations between diet adherence scores and risk of ≥5 dB elevation in the pure-tone average (PTA) of low-frequency (LPTA0.5,1,2 kHz), mid-frequency (MPTA3,4 kHz), and high-frequency (HPTA6,8 kHz) hearing thresholds. Higher adherence scores were associated with lower risk of hearing loss. Compared with the lowest quintile of DASH score, the multivariable-adjusted odds ratios for mid-frequency and high-frequency threshold elevation in the highest quintile were 0.71 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.55, 0.92; P for trend = 0.003) and 0.75 (95% CI: 0.59, 0.96; P for trend = 0.02); for AMED and AHEI scores, for mid-frequency threshold elevation, they were 0.77 (95% CI: 0.60, 0.99; P for trend = 0.02) and 0.72 (95% CI: 0.57, 0.92; P for trend = 0.002). Nonsignificant inverse associations were observed for high-frequency threshold elevation. There were no significant associations between adherence scores and low-frequency threshold elevation. Our findings indicate that eating a healthy diet might reduce the risk of acquired hearing loss.
