Severe and profound hearing loss in patients with multiple sensory impairments: increased incidence of cognitive impairment.
Article in Brazilian journal of otorhinolaryngology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveDetermine odds of incident cognitive impairment among patients with severe to profound hearing loss and co-existing multisensory impairment. PATIENTS: 14 prospectively recruited aging (age 50+) patients with severe and profound hearing loss were pooled for analysis with 180 previously enrolled patients with demonstrated multisensory impairment. Patients were recruited as part of a cross-sectional case-control study at a tertiary care neurotologic/audiologic outpatient clinic.
interventionsPatients with severe and profound hearing loss were identified and underwent point-of-care multisensory testing and cognitive testing.
main outcome measuresMultisensory testing using the Affordable, Rapid Olfactory Measurement Array (AROMA) for olfaction, pure tone audiometric evaluations, and the Timed 'Up and Go' test for gait and balance. Cognitive impairment was assessed via the Montreal Cognitive Assessment for the Hearing Impaired (HI-MoCA).
resultsA total of 194 patients were included. 34% (n = 66) screened positive for cognitive impairment. Olfactory dysfunction, gait impairment, and sensorineural hearing loss were all significantly (p < 0.05) associated with higher odds of cognitive impairment (ORs = 3.17, 3.71, and 3.23, respectively in a multivariate model). Subjects with dysfunction in all domains were at highest risk for cognitive impairment (OR = 15.2, p < 0.001) compared to impairment in 2 domains (OR = 5.09, p < 0.001). Severe and profound hearing loss had higher odds (OR = 8.32) compared to mild-moderately severe hearing loss (OR = 2.81) of having incident cognitive impairment.
conclusionsDysfunction of the olfactory, auditory, and balance systems is associated with significantly increased odds of cognitive impairment. Patients with severe and profound hearing loss were more likely to have cognitive impairment.
