Heightened noise sensitivity as a predictor of psychological prognosis in older adults with traumatic brain injury.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 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: Older adults are prone to falls, which may lead to traumatic brain injury, and the resulting psychological problems are also quite prominent. The purpose of this study is to explore the predictive role of recent noise hypersensitivity after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in the risk of psychological problems such as depression and anxiety in the medium and long term. Methods: A total of 1,003 older adults (60 years old or older) with mTBI were included. At the short-term (2 weeks), medium-term (3 months), and long-term (12 months) after injury, the Rivermead Post-Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire, Hamilton Depression Scale, and Hamilton Anxiety Scale were used to assess patients' noise hypersensitivity, depression, and anxiety symptoms, respectively. According to the short-term noise hypersensitivity, all patients were divided into the noise-sensitive group (n=441) and the non-sensitive group (n=592), and multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate the association of noise hypersensitivity with depression and anxiety. Results: Short-term noise hypersensitivity after injury was correlated with medium-term and long-term depressive symptoms after injury (OR=1.063, 95%CI=1.027~1.100, P=0.001; OR=1.039, 95%CI=1.016~1.063, P=0.001), but not with short-term depressive symptoms after injury (OR=1.027, 95%CI=0.980~1.076, P=0.259). Short-term noise hypersensitivity was correlated with medium-term and long-term anxiety symptoms (OR=1.048, 95%CI=1.015~1.083, P=0.004; OR=1.042, 95%CI=1.013~1.073, P=0.004), but not with short-term anxiety symptoms (OR=1.034, 95%CI=0.991~1.078, P=0.128). Conclusion: Early-stage noise hypersensitivity after mTBI in older adults links to higher risk of mid- and late-stage adverse psychological prognosis (depression or anxiety). Whether noise hypersensitivity can predict post-injury psychological status in this population requires further verification.
