The Laterality of Age-related Hearing Loss and Cognition.
Article in Otology & neurotology open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objectives: To analyze the association between neurocognitive performance and age-related hearing loss in the right and left ear, individually. Design: Subjects included 5277 participants (≥50 years) from the general Hispanic population who underwent audiometric testing in a US multicentered epidemiologic study. Linear regression was performed to assess the cross-sectional association between cognitive performance (Digit Symbol Substitution Test [DSST], Word Frequency Test, Spanish-English Verbal Learning Test [SEVLT] 3 Trials, SEVLT Recall, and Six-Item Screener) and hearing in each ear (4-frequency pure-tone average), adjusting for age, sex, education, cardiovascular disease, and hearing aid use. Results: Mean age was 58.4 ± 6.2 years; 3254 (61.7%) were women. Mean pure-tone averages were 20.2 ± 11.7 dB (right ear) and 20.2 ± 12.3 dB (left ear). Multivariable regression demonstrated significant associations between all cognitive tests and hearing loss in both ears. Conclusions: Worsening hearing loss in the right and left ear was associated with decreased performance across all tests. No laterality in the association was demonstrated.
