Tinnitus and Cognition in the Elderly: Unraveling the Impact of Symptom Burden on Cognitive Decline.
Article in Brain sciences, 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesTinnitus has been increasingly recognized not only as an auditory disturbance but also as a condition that is potentially linked to cognitive decline, particularly in older adults. However, the relationship between tinnitus characteristics and cognitive impairment remains underexplored in clinical settings. This study aimed to (1) evaluate the association between chronic tinnitus and cognitive function in adults aged 60 years and above using standardized tools, and (2) determine whether tinnitus severity and duration are associated with increased risk of cognitive impairment.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 240 older adults, divided into tinnitus (
resultsParticipants with tinnitus were significantly older and had higher rates of hearing loss (58.33% vs. 33.33%,
conclusionsTinnitus burden, particularly when severe and prolonged, is significantly associated with cognitive impairment in older adults. These findings highlight the need for cognitive screening and integrated management in this population.
