Otoprotective Effects of Resveratrol and Melatonin in Noise-Exposed Wistar Rats.
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
objectiveIn consideration of the benefits of antioxidant substances, this study evaluated the effect of resveratrol and melatonin in Wistar rats with or without exposure to high sound pressure levels (HISHLs).
methodsThis work is a prospective, comparative, longitudinal, in vivo experimental study involving Wistar rats. On Day 0, the animals underwent general health assessments, otoscopic examination and baseline hearing evaluations based on distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) and auditory brainstem responses (ABRs). They were divided into groups and treated with or without melatonin or resveratrol (10 mg/kg/day) for 14 consecutive days. From Day 5 onwards, the noise, resveratrol noise and melatonin noise groups were exposed to white noise (4 kHz; 100 ± 3 dB) for 8 hours per day for 10 days. Hearing assessments were repeated on Day 15 (D15) and Day 30 (D30). Data were analysed by using t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests, depending on distribution and normality.
resultsD15 and D30 evaluations revealed that the groups exposed to noise had statistically significantly worsened amplitude and signal-to-noise ratio of DPOAE compared with the groups that were not subjected to noise exposure. The analysis of the noise-exposed animals showed that DPOAE recovered partially in the melatonin and resveratrol groups at the end of the experiment (D30). The melatonin and resveratrol groups showed a statistically significant difference from the noise group, although their medians were even lower than those of the control group. ABR analysis showed that the electrophysiological auditory thresholds in the melatonin and resveratrol groups recovered at D30.
conclusionMelatonin and resveratrol demonstrated otoprotective effects on the hearing of Wistar rats exposed to HISHL.
