Protective Effects of Molecular Hydrogen on Noise-Induced Auditory and Cognitive Dysfunction.
Article in Noise & health. 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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the protective efficacy and molecular mechanisms of hydrogen (H 2 ) against noise-induced damage across the peripheral and central auditory systems. MATERIALS AND
methodsMice were exposed to noise with or without H 2 treatment. Auditory function was assessed using the auditory brainstem response (ABR) and distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE). Cochlear morphological changes were examined using a scanning electron microscope. Central effects in the inferior colliculus (IC) were evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin staining, transmission electron microscopy, and proteomic analysis. Behavioral changes were measured by using prepulse inhibition (PPI) and shuttle-box tasks.
resultsH 2 significantly attenuated noise-induced ABR threshold shifts ( P < 0.05) and preserved wave I amplitudes at 80 dB (2.69 ± 0.40 vs. 3.57 ± 0.15 μV, P < 0.05). H 2 attenuated noise-induced reduction of DPOAE (16 kHz: 34.40 ± 2.70 vs. 24.67 ± 4.35, P < 0.05) and mitigated outer hair cell (OHC) loss (survival: 89.92% ± 1.23% vs. 82.10% ± 1.6%, all P < 0.05). In the IC, H 2 reduced neuronal pyknosis by 12.6% ( P < 0.05) and preserved the synaptic ultrastructure. Behaviorally, H 2 suppressed the noise-induced elevation of PPI at 75 and 80 dB (75 dB: 40.87% ± 6.32% vs. 58.04% ± 2.47%; 80 dB: 50.01% ± 3.14% vs. 58.04% ± 2.47%, all P < 0.05) and improved performance on the shuttle-box test. Proteomic analysis revealed that H 2 upregulated nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen regeneration-related proteins (e.g., Tigar) and GABAergic synaptic proteins (e.g., Gad1) in the IC.
conclusionH 2 exerts a comprehensive neuroprotective effect against noise-induced damage, spanning from OHCs to central synaptic remodeling. This cognitive protection may be mediated by enhancing the antioxidant capacity and restoring the excitation - inhibition balance in the IC.
