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
Introduction: Noise-induced hearing loss has a high incidence among Brazilian workers, causing socioeconomic and cognitive impairments. Objectives: To describe noise-induced hearing loss according to professional occupation between 2012 and 2021. Methods: This was a cross-sectional and descriptive study of Brazilian workers affected by noise-induced hearing loss. Data were collected from noise-induced hearing loss notifications filed with the Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação in Brazil. The absolute and relative frequencies of sociodemographic variables and occupational characteristics were assessed. Results: A total of 7,413 cases of noise-induced hearing loss were notified in Brazil. Workers in industrial production were the most affected (56.4%). There was a higher prevalence in White (45.4%), male (87.3%) participants aged between 50 and 59 years (42.5%) from the Southeast region (43%). In this study, 3.5% of participants were temporarily removed from their position, 42.6% reported using personal protective equipment, and 65.7% did not use collective protective equipment. The most prevalent type of noise was continuous noise (33%). Conclusions: Noise-induced hearing loss is prevalent among Brazilian workers and varies according to each occupational group. Cases of noise-induced hearing loss are underreported in Brazil.
