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

Background: Currently, dementia is estimated to be the seventh most common cause of death and one of the leading causes of disability and dependency among older people worldwide. The main aim of this study is to analyze the association of presbycusis and cognitive impairment in the study population. Secondary aim is to identify the risk and prevalence of presbycusis taking into account bio- socio-demographic factors among the residents of Wrocław and surrounding villages. Methods: Data from 891 participants (559 women and 332 men; mean age: 60.7 years; range: 39-81) in the Polish cohort of the PURE study who met the inclusion criteria for the PURE MIND sub-study and who had a cognitive and functional assessment completed (MoCA test, DSST test, TMT parts A and B, CES-D, SAGE test). Results: Hearing loss was a significant risk factor for cognitive impairment as assessed using the MoCA, DSST, TMT A and TMT B tests. Mild cognitive impairment (MoCA < 26 score) was present in nearly half of those with hearing loss compared to 26.0 per cent of those without hearing loss ( Conclusion: Age-related hearing loss is a modifiable risk factor for dementia, emphasizing the importance of routine hearing assessments and timely interventions. Integrating hearing loss management with strategies targeting vascular and metabolic health can help mitigate cognitive decline.
