Interventions to improve hearing aid use in adult auditory rehabilitation: A protocol for an updated systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in PloS one, 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
Acquired hearing loss is common among adults, with hearing aids being the primary clinical management option. While hearing aids can improve communication and quality of life, many individuals do not use them consistently or at all. This article presents a protocol for an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of interventions aimed at improving or promoting long-term hearing aid use among adults with hearing loss who are fitted with at least one hearing aid. The review is guided by the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) and at its centre the COM-B model (Capability, Opportunity, Motivation - Behaviour), which suggests that the interaction of these three components influences behaviour. The BCW provides a comprehensive framework to understand how interventions target behaviour change and the mechanisms through which they operate. The review objective is to assess the effectiveness of interventions that aim to improve or promote hearing aid use among adults with acquired hearing loss who have at least one hearing aid. Understanding which intervention strategies are effective, and which behavioural functions they target, can help shape future research.
