Association between hearing loss, tinnitus, and chronic kidney disease: the NHANES 2015-2018.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Previous studies suggested that chronic kidney disease (CKD) might contribute to hearing loss and tinnitus. Patients with CKD are often at risk of sudden onset hearing loss and tinnitus; however, few epidemiological investigations have been conducted on this topic. The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the correlation between hearing loss, tinnitus, and CKD based on information obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Methods: Using data from the NHANES 2015-2018, a cross-sectional analysis was conducted, which included 5,131 participants, and used multivariate logistic regression analyses and subgroup analysis to investigate the association between hearing loss, tinnitus, and CKD. Results: CKD was associated independently with hearing loss, with the CKD group being more at risk of hearing loss than the non-CKD group [age-adjusted 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.54 (1.31-1.8), Conclusion: The results suggested that CKD is associated with hearing loss and tinnitus. The complexity of the relationship between CKD and hearing loss requires further research.
