Aging and Hearing with Vestibular Schwannoma Beyond Presbycusis: A Large Cross-Sectional Audiometric and Volumetric Study.
Article in OTO open. 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
Objective: To identify predictors of auditory function in treatment-naïve vestibular schwannomas (VS) while accounting for age-related hearing loss, investigating baseline volumetrics and audiometrics in a pre-intervention stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) cohort. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Single-center national SRS referral program with a prospective database. Methods: All consecutive patients with newly diagnosed unilateral VS and complete pre-intervention imaging and audiometric data were included. High-definition MRI and bone CT with co-registration and fusion enabled morphometric and volumetric analysis of VS and internal auditory canal (IAC) dimensions. Univariate tests, multivariate logistic regression with interaction terms, and regularized regression identified factors associated with serviceable hearing (Gardner-Robertson scores 1-2). Results: Among 533 patients (50.65% male, mean age 57.04 years), 72.6% had serviceable hearing. Median VS volume was 875.3 mm Conclusion: While age dominates hearing prediction in VS, canal filling ratio significantly modifies this relationship in an age-dependent manner, representing a clinically accessible imaging biomarker with age-specific thresholds and effects.
