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

objectiveThis study examined the associations between hearing loss (HL) and other modifiable dementia risk factors in adults aged 50 years or older living in Tasmania and explored the effects of corrected versus uncorrected HL on these factors.

methodsA cross-sectional study design using an online survey categorised participants as No-HL, HL-corrected or HL-uncorrected. Logistic regression estimated the odds of being in higher dementia risk categories.

resultsThe HL-corrected group was more likely to be in the low-risk alcohol group (OR = 0.567, 95% CI: 0.468-0.687), 28% less likely for high cholesterol (OR = 0.722, 95% CI: 0.571-0.913) and 26% less likely for diabetes (OR = 0.743, 95% CI: 0.582-0.948). They also had lower odds than the HL-uncorrected group for alcohol risk (OR = 0.652, 95% CI: 0.508-0.837).

conclusionsCorrected HL is associated with reduced odds of higher-risk categories for diabetes, alcohol use and high cholesterol.
