Application of neurodegenerative disease treatment strategies in tinnitus: mechanisms, translation, and prospects.
Review in Frontiers in aging neuroscience, 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
Tinnitus, a prevalent auditory perception symptom, is closely associated with maladaptive neuroplasticity within the central auditory and non-auditory pathways. Its complex pathophysiology shares significant mechanistic parallels with neurodegenerative processes, including neuroinflammation, synaptic dysfunction, excitotoxicity, and aberrant neural network reorganization. This review explores the therapeutic potential of repurposing strategies originally developed for neurodegenerative diseases for tinnitus intervention. We systematically examine key approaches, such as targeting neuroinflammatory cascades, modulating neurotrophic factors, and mitigating glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity. The discussion synthesizes evidence from preclinical studies suggesting their mechanisms of action within tinnitus models and evaluates the current landscape of translational and clinical research. By bridging insights from neurodegeneration and auditory neuroscience, this article aims to provide a cohesive theoretical framework and identify future directions for developing novel, mechanism-based therapeutic interventions for tinnitus.
