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

Objective: To analyze the dual improvement effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)-assisted auditory rehabilitation training on cognitive function and auditory ability of elderly patients with hearing impairment. Methods: 100 cases of elderly patients with hearing impairment admitted to our hospital between January 2020 and January 2025 were prospectively selected as study subjects. The patients were divided into sham tDCS group ( Results: There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, gender, BMI, degree of hearing loss, education level, smoking and drinking habits, laboratory indicators [FBG, ALP, ALT, AST, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C], comorbidities, and family history of hearing loss (all Conclusion: Transcranial direct current stimulation-assisted auditory rehabilitation training may improve the cognitive and auditory functions of elderly patients with hearing impairment and enhance the quality of life of patients.
