Characteristics of brain glucose metabolism and metabolic connectivity in noise-induced hearing loss.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences in cerebral glucose metabolism and metabolic connectivity between noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) subjects and normal subjects. Eighty-nine subjects who needed close observation for NIHL or were diagnosed with NIHL and 89 normal subjects were enrolled. After pre-processing of positron emission tomography images including co-registration, spatial normalization, and smoothing, a two-sample t-test was conducted to compare cerebral glucose metabolism between the two groups. To evaluate metabolic connectivity between two groups, BRAPH-BRain Analysis using graPH theory, a software package to perform graph theory analysis of the brain connectome was used. NIHL subjects showed hypometabolism compared to normal subjects in both insulae (x - 38, y - 18, z 4; × 42, y - 12, z 4) and right superior temporal gyrus (× 44, y 16, z - 20). No brain regions showed hypermetabolism in the NIHL subjects. In metabolic connectivity analysis, NIHL subjects showed decreased average strength, global efficiency, local efficiency, and mean clustering coefficient when compared with normal subjects. Decreased glucose metabolism and metabolic connectivity in NIHL subject might reflect decreased auditory function. It might be characteristic of sensorineural hearing loss.
