Investigation of the Audiological and Histological Results of Various Noise Exposure Protocols.

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
objectiveThe objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of different noise conditions on the cochlea in rats. The study focuses on understanding noise-induced hearing loss through objective audiological tests and histological evaluations.
methodsRats were exposed to noise under various conditions based on stimulus type, intensity, and duration. Auditory brainstem response tests were conducted before exposure and on Days 1, 7, and 21 after exposure to assess hearing function. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses were performed to study cochlear damage.
resultsThe study found that noise intensity and duration were the most significant factors in causing hearing loss. Repetitive noise exposure and increased bandwidth also contributed to hearing loss, but their impact was less severe compared to high-intensity or prolonged exposure. In addition, five different noise conditions were characterized as distinct experimental models with varying degrees of cochlear damage.
conclusionThe results indicate that while intensity and duration are the primary factors leading to hearing loss, repetitive exposure and increased bandwidth also pose a risk, though to a lesser extent. These findings not only highlight the translational relevance of the 8 kHz loss in rats but also provide a framework for selecting experimental models in future studies on synaptopathy, therapeutic interventions, and central auditory processing.
