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

purposeThis purpose of this study was to determine the association of Type 2 diabetes with rate of hearing change per year.

methodParticipants were from the Medical University of South Carolina Longitudinal Cohort Study of Age-related Hearing Loss. History of Type 2 diabetes was self-reported. Outcome measures were individual audiometric thresholds (0.25-8.0 kHz) and pure-tone average (PTA) of thresholds at frequencies 0.5-4.0 kHz, averaged bilaterally. We used linear mixed regression models to determine the association of diabetes with the rate of annual threshold change at each frequency and PTA, separately. Results are presented as regression coefficients with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

resultsThis study included 1,333 participants with a mean age of 63.5 (

conclusionsDiabetes was not consistently associated with baseline hearing thresholds or rate of change. Additional longitudinal studies are needed to clarify relationships of diabetes and hearing over time. SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.30826049.
