1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundWith the aging of the population, the deterioration of visual and auditory functions amongst the elderly has attracted much attention. Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are common eye and ear diseases that seriously affect the quality of life of elderly population.

methodsThis study utilised a whole cohort sampling method, with a total of 713 participants aged 50 years and older in the community from June 2022 to October 2023, resulting in the inclusion of 620 participants. Demographic information was collected from these participants, and eye and hearing examinations were conducted at Ningde Municipal Hospital affiliated of Fujian Medical University. Spearman's correlation analysis was utilised to investigate the association between ARHL and AMD in patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to identify the factors influencing ARHL to provide insights for preventing and treating ARHL and AMD in older individuals.

resultsCorrelation analysis indicated a significantly positive relationship between ARHL and AMD (P < 0.001). The results showed that age, medical history, AMD and chronic noise exposure were risk factors for ARHL.

conclusionsThere were 196 cases of AMD in ARHL patients (82.35%). Spearman's correlation analysis revealed that ARHL was associated with AMD; logistic regression analysis revealed that age, medical history, macular degeneration and history of prolonged noise exposure were risk factors for ARHL. Among them, age, medical history (hypertension, hyperlipidaemia and diabetes mellitus), noise and AMD influence the development of ARHL in the elderly population. Therefore, attention should be paid to controlling risk factors in this population to prevent or reduce the development of ARHL.
