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

objectiveIn analyses without adjustment for World Trade Center (WTC) noise exposure, people with WTC and neighborhood exposures from the September 11, 2001, attacks have experienced slightly elevated risks of hearing loss. We investigated incident hearing loss in the WTC General Responder Cohort by their levels of WTC exposure, their WTC noise exposure and previous occupation.

methodsAdjusted multivariable log binomial regression models assessed persistent (≥10 months) hearing loss associated with WTC exposures using 22 years of the monitoring visit data ( n = 45,537).

resultsCompared with the lowest exposure level without WTC noise exposure, WTC noise exposure increased hearing loss risk (adjusted relative risk range: 1.19 [95% confidence interval 1.08, 1.30] to 1.58 [1.43, 1.76]).

conclusionsThe results clarify the importance of WTC noise when evaluating the associations of WTC exposures on hearing loss.
