Structural and Functional Brain Alterations Induced by Noise Exposure: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in NeuroSci, 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
Noise exposure has become an increasingly prevalent public health concern, with effects extending beyond the auditory system. Accumulating evidence indicates that chronic noise exposure induces both structural and functional alterations in the central nervous system, ultimately affecting cognitive and emotional processes. This review summarizes the impact of noise on key brain regions, including the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and auditory cortex. Structurally, noise exposure is associated with reduced neurogenesis, dendritic remodeling, synaptic loss, alterations in white matter and changes in glial activity. Functionally, it disrupts synaptic plasticity mechanisms-such as long-term potentiation and long-term depression-as well as neuronal connectivity, leading to impairments in higher-order cognitive and behavioral functions. These effects are mediated by interconnected mechanisms, including activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and alterations in neurotrophic signaling.
