Prediction of hearing aid cognitive outcomes in age-related hearing loss.
Article in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 2025. 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
Although the phenomena underlying cognitive decline and dementia are complex, there is growing evidence suggesting that degraded sensory inputs caused by age-related hearing loss may play a central role in accelerating cognitive decline in older individuals. Further supporting this notion is evidence that hearing augmentation with hearing aids can mitigate hearing loss-related cognitive impairments. Despite this evidence, few studies have attempted to investigate hearing aid efficacy with a focus on cognitive outcome measures. In this preliminary study, we sought to determine if certain demographic and audiological factors are linked to individual differences regarding observed cognitive changes following hearing aid use. We show that several factors can explain large portions of the variance observed in cognitive score changes following short-term hearing aid use in first-time users, suggesting that it might be possible to develop predictive algorithms to determine individualized estimates of the cognitive benefit of hearing aid use. Future studies with larger sample sizes are warranted, in particular, to explore a wider array of cognitive functions, investigate a greater range of potential predictors, and better quantify their relative contribution to outcome measure estimates.
