Association between high systolic blood pressure and objective hearing impairment among Japanese adults: a facility-based retrospective cohort study.
Article in Hypertension research : official journal of the Japanese Society of Hypertension, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
This retrospective longitudinal study examined the association between systolic blood pressure and hearing impairment among 13,187 Japanese individuals (men, 46.5%) aged 20-59 years. The systolic blood pressure of participants was categorized as <120, 120-129, 130-139, 140-149, 150-159, and ≥160 mmHg. Using pure-tone audiometry, hearing impairment at 1 and 4 kHz was defined as hearing thresholds in either ear >30 and >40 dB, respectively. We performed multivariable Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis to examine the association using two multiple-imputation methods (fully conditional specification and Markov chain Monte Carlo). There were 695 and 774 hearing-impairment cases at 1 and 4 kHz, respectively, during ~77,000 person-years of follow-up. Compared with the <120 mmHg group, the hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) of hearing impairment for the 120-129, 130-139, 140-149, 150-159, and ≥160 mmHg groups after adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, high serum glucose, current smoking, and other potential confounders were 1.35 (1.12-1.63), 1.45 (1.13-1.86), 1.07 (0.73-1.58), 1.91 (1.18-3.07), and 1.81 (1.01-3.25), respectively, at 1 kHz using the first imputation method; 1.36 (1.13-1.63), 1.48 (1.17-1.86), 1.09 (0.76-1.58), 1.99 (1.29-3.06), and 1.92 (1.08-3.41), respectively, at 1 kHz using the second imputation method; 1.04 (0.86-1.24), 1.14 (0.91-1.43), 1.13 (0.83-1.54), 1.45 (0.96-2.19), and 1.35 (0.82-2.23), respectively, at 4 kHz using the first imputation method; and 1.03 (0.86-1.24), 1.17 (0.95-1.44), 1.15 (0.87-1.53), 1.54 (1.06-2.24), and 1.44 (0.88-2.35), respectively, at 4 kHz using the second imputation method. In conclusion, higher systolic blood pressure was associated with hearing impairment at 1 kHz. No clear association was observed at 4 kHz.
