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
Background: Presbycusis, an age-related hearing disorder, affects communication, psychosocial functioning, and quality of life. Because its management requires long-term engagement with rehabilitation and medication routines, psychological factors such as personality traits and coping styles may influence treatment adherence. This study investigated the relationship between personality traits and adherence in adults with presbycusis, with coping styles examined as a mediating variable. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among adults diagnosed with presbycusis recruited from hospitals and audiology centers across Tehran, Iran (November 2024-March 2025). Participants completed the Personality Insights Questionnaire, the Coping Styles Questionnaire, and the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8). Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to assess direct and indirect effects and evaluate model reliability, validity, and predictive accuracy. Results: A total of 384 adults participated. Personality traits showed a significant positive association with coping styles ( Conclusion: Personality traits influence treatment adherence in adults with presbycusis both directly and through coping styles. Incorporating personality-based and coping-focused strategies into hearing rehabilitation may strengthen adherence and improve long-term outcomes.
