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

Age-related hearing loss (ARHL), or presbycusis, represents one of the most prevalent sensory dysfunctions in the elderly people. It is characterized by progressive hearing deterioration that significantly impairs quality of life and increases the risk of comorbidities including cognitive impairment, depression, and social isolation. The pathogenesis of ARHL involves complex structural alterations such as degeneration of cochlear hair cells, loss of spiral ganglion neurons, and stria vascularis atrophy, coupled with molecular and cellular dysregulations including oxidative stress, inflammation, autophagy dysfunction, and cellular senescence. Meanwhile, genetic predisposition and environmental factors contribute to its development. Current conventional management primarily relies on hearing aids, which fail to reverse disease progression, while effective pharmacological interventions remain unavailable. Recent years have witnessed promising developments in innovative approaches such as gene therapy, stem cell-based regenerative medicine, nanotechnology-based delivery systems, and early biomarker screening, offering new directions for precise ARHL intervention. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research in ARHL, with the goal of advancing our understanding, treatment and interventions of presbycusis.
