Prevalence of Hearing Loss and Years Lived With Disability in Ethiopia From 1990 to 2023: A Subnational Analysis for the Global Burden of Diseases Study.
Article in SAGE open nursing. 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
Background: Hearing impairment is increasingly being acknowledged as a major public health issue. This study determined the prevalence of hearing loss and the years lived with disability (YLDs) in Ethiopia from 1990 to 2023. Methods: The study used the Global Burden of Diseases 2023 estimates and methods. Results: In 2023, Ethiopia had an estimated 15.93 million prevalent cases of hearing loss (95% UI: 15.00-16.79), with an age-standardized prevalence rate of 21,702 per 10 Conclusion: This study revealed a substantial and persistent burden of hearing loss in Ethiopia over the past three decades, dominated by mild cases and increasing with age. While severe and complete forms declined, mild-to-moderate rates rose, underscoring the need for integrated screening, expanded access to hearing care, and strengthened health systems to address this growing public health challenge.
