Association between Locomotive Syndrome and Hearing Loss in Community-Dwelling Adults.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The relationship between hearing and motor function as a function of aging is unclear. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the relationship between age-related hearing loss and locomotive syndrome. In total, 240 participants aged ≥40 years, whose hearing acuity and motor function had been measured, were included in this study. Patients with a hearing acuity of <35 dB and ≥35 dB were categorized into normal and low hearing acuity groups, respectively. Motor function was compared according to sex between the groups. Among men, those in the low hearing acuity group (51/100) were older, had a significantly slower walking speed, and had a higher prevalence of locomotive syndrome than those in the normal group. Among women, those in the low hearing group (14/140) were older and had a significantly slower gait speed than those in the normal group. The multivariate analysis showed that, in the low hearing acuity group, age and gait speed were risk factors in men, while age was the only risk factor in women. In conclusion, hearing loss was associated with walking speed. The association between hearing loss and locomotive syndrome was observed only in men. In the multivariate analysis, hearing loss was associated with walking speed only in men.
