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

Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is common, disabling, and still managed largely with compensatory devices rather than mechanism-modifying therapy. The major weakness in the current translational pipeline is not the absence of candidate pathways, but the lack of a timing framework that links cochlear phenotype, mitochondrial injury state, and intervention intensity. This revised Review therefore focuses on a staged mitochondrial redox-quality-control model. We argue that ARHL emerges when high-energy cochlear compartments-outer and inner hair cells, spiral ganglion neurons, and the lateral wall/stria vascularis-cross a threshold at which mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), impaired mitochondrial DNA and transfer RNA integrity, lysosomal insufficiency, and incomplete mitophagy reinforce each other. Three checkpoints are emphasized because they are mechanistically actionable and experimentally measurable: NAD
