Lifetime Noise Exposure and Its Interaction With Ageing: Effects on Audiometric Thresholds, Speech-In-Noise Perception, and Tinnitus for Palestinian Workers.
Article in Trends in hearing. 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
Noise-induced and age-related hearing loss involve partially similar pathophysiology, but their combined effects remain poorly understood, especially in under-regulated occupational settings. This study investigated the independent and interaction effects of lifetime noise exposure and age on audiometric, speech-in-noise, and tinnitus outcomes in Palestinian workers. Ninety-eight adult workers aged 18 - 75 years completed standard (0.25 - 8 kHz) and extended high-frequency (10 - 14 kHz) audiometry, Arabic diotic and antiphasic digits-in-noise (DIN) testing, and an Arabic Noise Exposure Structured Interview. Regression models tested age × noise interactions, adjusting for sex (and education for DIN), with Bonferroni-Holm correction applied for multiple comparisons. The protocol was pre-registered (Open Science Framework; https://osf.io/v2c9z). There was no significant age × noise interaction for standard audiometric thresholds (3 - 8 kHz; β = 0.23 dB/year per log
