Gender difference in the association between volunteering and health-related quality of life among hearing-impaired older adults in China.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe present study aims to assess the relationship between volunteering and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among older adults with hearing impairment, as well as the gender difference in this association.
methodsWe use data from the sixth Health Service Survey of Shandong Province, China. The survey interviewed 35,264 respondents, from which a total of 1,457 hearing-impaired older adults were included in the study. Tobit regression models were used to identify the association between volunteering and HRQoL and gender difference in the relationship.
resultsThe prevalence of volunteering in men and women was 24.05% and 22.20%, respectively. Women had higher EQ-5D utility valuesand VAS scores than men. After controlling potential confounders, participating in volunteering had a significant and positive association with higher HRQoL among older women, while this relationship was not significant for men. The regression model showed the interaction term of gender and volunteering had a significant association with HRQoL.
conclusionThe findings suggest volunteering is significantly associated with HRQoL among older adults with hearing impairment, and the association differed by gender. Gender differences should be considered when implementing targeted and appropriate interventions to improve HRQoL among hearing-impaired older adults.
