Montreal Cognitive Assessment Hearing Impairment (MoCA-H) in brazilian portuguese: performance analysis.
Observational study in CoDAS, 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
purposeTo analyze the performance of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Hearing Impairment (MoCA-H) in Brazilian Portuguese in neurologically healthy older adults, comparing those with normal hearing and those with hearing loss who use hearing aids.
methodsObservational, cross-sectional, and quantitative study involving 20 neurologically healthy older adults (with no signs of cognitive decline), matched by age and education, divided into two groups: one with a quadritonal average within normal limits, and the other with bilateral moderate or greater hearing loss, all users of bilateral Hearing Aids (HA). Participants were assessed through anamnesis, pure-tone audiometry, speech audiometry, tympanometry, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and MoCA-H. Comparisons between groups were conducted using Student's t-test, with a significance level of 5%.
resultsSimilar performance was observed between groups in seven of the eight cognitive domains assessed by the MoCA-H. The only statistically significant difference was found in the visuo-spatial/executive domain, with lower performance in the group with hearing loss. No significant difference was found in the total MoCA-H score between the groups.
conclusionNeurologically healthy older adults with and without treated hearing loss showed similar performance on the MoCA-H tasks. Only the visuospatial/executive task distinguished the groups evaluated. The MoCA-H proved to be an effective and sensitive tool in the cognitive assessment of older adults with moderate to severe hearing loss, at least in the sample studied.
