The Silent Complication: Auditory Dysfunction in Pediatric Patients with Type 1 Diabetes.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2026. 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
Diabetes is known to affect metabolic, vascular, and nervous systems, although its influence on auditory function in children remains poorly defined. Understanding this association is essential due to its implications for cognitive, language, and social development. Numerous studies have found that children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) exhibit higher hearing thresholds at high frequencies (4000-8000 Hz) and lower speech understanding scores compared to healthy controls. Poor glycemic control and longer disease duration are consistently associated with worse auditory outcomes. The proposed mechanisms include microangiopathy and diabetic neuropathy affecting the auditory pathway. Many affected children do not report noticeable auditory symptoms, indicating a risk of underdiagnosis. Early identification is crucial, as hearing difficulties in children may be related to underlying diabetic conditions and are likely associated with poor glycemic control. Regular audiometric screening should be incorporated into the routine care of pediatric diabetes patients to identify hearing deficits before they affect communication and cognitive development.
