Prognostic significance of the QuickSIN score for future hearing threshold deterioration.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
About 10% of audiology patients who experience hearing difficulties in noise have clinically normal hearing thresholds in quiet. While it has been suggested that hearing difficulties in noise might be a precursor for the subsequent development of clinical hearing loss, there is so far no direct evidence that supports this hypothesis. This study aimed to determine whether hearing difficulties in noise, as measured by the Quick Speech in Noise (QuickSIN) test, could be used to identify people at risk of the development and the progression of clinical hearing loss, using a large dataset of 1128 individuals in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA). A linear mixed model analysis revealed that individuals with a poorer QuickSIN score at the preceding audiological assessment were likely to reveal a more substantial deterioration in clinical audiometric thresholds at their subsequent visit than those with a better QuickSIN score at their previous assessment. These findings offer valuable insights for early interventions and monitoring strategies for individuals at risk of hearing loss.
