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
introductionThis study aimed to navigate the relationship between cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, sleeping disorder, mental health and hearing loss in stroke patients.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study that involved 1040 male and female patients aged 25-65 years. The research utilized physical examinations, radiological assessments, biochemical tests, and pure-tone audiometry (PTA) to evaluate hearing function.
resultsAmong the 1040 stroke patients, 219 cigarette smokers (21.6%) were found to have hearing loss. Remarkable dissimilarities were observed in three categories: cigarette smokers with hearing loss, cigarette smokers without hearing loss, and non-smokers without hearing loss. These differences were noted in BMI (p<0.001), physical activity (p=0.002), hypertension (p<0.001), MP3 use (p<0.001), tinnitus (p<0.001), vertigo (p<0.001), dizziness (p<0.001), and headaches/migraines (p<0.001). Similarly, significant differences were identified among cigarette smokers with hearing loss, cigarette smokers without hearing loss, and non-smokers in relation to age (p<0.001), BMI (p<0.001), MP3 use (p=0.004), hypertension (p=0.028), ATP III metabolic syndrome (p<0.001), IDF metabolic syndrome (p<0.001), tinnitus (p<0.001), vertigo (p<0.001), dizziness (p=0.012), headaches/migraines (p<0.001), vitamin D (p<0.001), calcium (p<0.001), magnesium (p<0.001), potassium (p=0.019), fasting glucose (p<0.001), hemoglobin A1c (p<0.001), high blood pressure (p<0.001), microalbuminuria (p<0.001), and sleepiness (p=0.014). Multivariate stepwise regression analysis of cigarette smokers among stroke patients showed that vertigo (p<0.001), obesity (p<0.001), vitamin D deficiency (p<0.001), ATP III metabolic syndrome (p<0.001), IDF metabolic syndrome (p=0.004), calcium levels (p=0.008), headaches/migraines (p=0.039), and hypertension (p=0.025) could predict hearing loss.
conclusionsThis study puts forward that smoking cigarettes along with factors like hypertension, obesity, vitamin D deficiency, and sleepiness, serve as notable danger element for loosing hearing ability among stroke patients. There is increasing evidence linking cigarette tobacco smoking to lung cancer and various adverse health effects.
