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

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a common type of sensorineural hearing loss caused by exposure to high-intensity noise that leads to irreversible cochlear damage. Despite extensive research on cochlear pathophysiology, the precise mechanisms remain unclear, and no established treatment exists. This is due to the challenges in imaging and the inability to perform biopsies in human patients. Consequently, animal models, particularly mice, have been widely used to study NIHL. Clinically, NIHL presents as either a temporary threshold shift, in which hearing recovers, or a permanent threshold shift, which results in an irreversible loss. Histopathological studies have identified the key features of NIHL, including outer hair cell loss, auditory nerve degeneration, and synaptic impairment. Recent findings suggest that oxidative stress and inflammation are major contributors to NIHL, highlighting the potential for therapeutic interventions, such as antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. Given the increasing prevalence of NIHL owing to occupational noise exposure and personal audio device use, addressing this issue is a pressing public health challenge. This review summarizes the clinical features, underlying mechanisms, and emerging treatment strategies for NIHL while identifying current knowledge gaps and future research directions.
