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

Unsafe personal listening device (PLD) usage has recently been linked to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). This study aims to investigate the public's behavior toward PLD usage and raise awareness about its adverse effects on users. A total of 100 participants were surveyed to obtain information about their PLD usage behavior and its effects on hearing levels using pure tone audiometry. In our study, out of 100 participants, 67 used PLD, and 47.7% of them were under 25 years old. Additionally, 4.28% of PLD users reported experiencing hearing loss, while 34.3% reported vestibular symptoms. The long-term effects of PLD usage, particularly among young people, require further investigation. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of promoting safe listening practices, particularly among younger generations.
