1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 and Objectives: This cross-sectional study investigated the association between presbycusis (PC) and cognitive function in older adults and identified factors influencing cognitive performance. Materials and Methods: A total of 126 participants ( ≥ 60 years) were enrolled, including 58 with PC and 68 controls with normal hearing. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Statistical analyses included Results: MMSE scores declined significantly with age in both groups (PC: Conclusions: Greater hearing loss severity, poorer speech recognition, and longer hearing loss duration are associated with lower cognitive function, while higher education is protective. These findings support the close interrelationship between auditory and cognitive health in older adults, suggesting that early audiological assessment and hearing rehabilitation may aid cognitive health, though causality requires longitudinal validation.
