Exploring the Link Between Tinnitus and Loudness Intolerance.
Article in International archives of otorhinolaryngology, 2026. 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
Introduction: A ringing sensation in the ear is referred to as tinnitus. It is one of the common symptoms associated with hearing loss. It can be associated even with loudness-related conditions, such as hyperacusis. Objective: To investigate the relationship between tinnitus and hyperacusis in individuals with normal hearing and up-to-mild hearing loss, focusing on the manifestation of loudness intolerance. Methods: The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) was administered among 35 adults having primary complaints of tinnitus with normal hearing and up-to-mild hearing loss. Further, the Modified Khalfa Hyperacusis Questionnaire (M-HQ) was used to evaluate the hyperacusis severity among the same individuals. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to check the correlation between tinnitus and hyperacusis severity. Results: Of the 35 adults who reported tinnitus, 18 (51.4%) of them reported having hyperacusis. The outcome of Spearman's correlation indicated a moderate positive correlation between the THI and M-HQ scores r Conclusion: The results obtained suggest that tinnitus is associated with hyperacusis. With the subjective evaluation, it is clear that the change in the severity of tinnitus perception is interconnected with the perception of hyperacusis severity. But this relationship is not a completely overlapping one. Future research on the comorbid interplay of tinnitus severity and hyperacusis severity may shed further light on this link.
