Association of chronic kidney disease and risk of hearing loss: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Brazilian journal of otorhinolaryngology. 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
objectivesThe association between Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Hearing Loss (HL) is intricate. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to explore the potential association between CKD and the risk of hearing loss.
methodsWe conducted a comprehensive search from the inception of the databases up to February 2, 2025, aimed at exploring the relationship between Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Hearing Loss (HL). Synthesis and meta-analysis of odds ratios, along with their corresponding 95% Confidence Intervals, were performed using Stata 14.0. Funnel plot analysis and Egger's regression test were applied to assess potential publication bias.
resultsTen articles involving 1,392,700 participants were included. CKD patients exhibited an increased risk of developing Hearing Loss (HL) (OR = 1.50; 95% CI: 1.13-1.98). Subgroup analysis revealed a higher risk of HL in cohort studies (OR = 1.77; 95% CI: 1.07-2.94) and a greater risk of HL in Asian countries (OR = 1.56; 95% CI: 1.06-2.29), with China showing a higher risk of HL than South Korea (OR = 1.85; 95% CI: 0.93-3.36; I
conclusionsOur meta-analysis shows that CKD increases the risk of developing HL. These findings provide evidence that CKD should be considered an independent risk factor for HL.
