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
Background: Presbycusis is a gradual hearing loss caused by the ageing process. This is a chronic condition that affects the elderly population, and sensorineural progressive bilateral symmetry occurs with predominantly high-frequency hearing loss. The ability to discriminate speech decreases; hence, most of the affected patients have conversation problems, especially in noisy environments.This situation is a serious problem among elderly individuals. Social isolation, depression, and paranoia can be related to presbycusis. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate GPx and the GSH:GSSG ratio as risk factors for presbycusis. Methods: A case-control study was conducted to determine the role of GPx activity with the GSH:GSSG ratio as a presbycusis risk factor in 60 subjects aged 55 to 75 years old during the period of August 2012 - April 2014. All of the subjects passed an ENT examination, pure tone audiometry, and tympanometry. The activity of GPx was measured with the Paglia and Valentine method, and the GSH:GSSG ratio was measured by the calorimetric method. Results: The activity of GPx and the GSH:GSSG ratio were significantly different between the groups (p<0.05), and the odds ratio for high GPx with a low GSH:GSSG ratio was 135 (CI 95%: 5.17-20,028.88). Conclusion: High GPx activity with a low GSH:GSSG ratio is a risk factor for presbycusis.
