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

objectivesTo evaluate the satisfaction with life among mothers of pediatric cochlear implant candidates regarding implant surgery and sociodemographic factors. MATERIALS AND

methodsMothers of 160 pediatric patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss who underwent unilateral cochlear implant surgery were included. A questionnaire form with items on sociodemographic-familial characteristics and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) was employed via face-to-face interview method before and 12 months after the implant surgery.

resultsThe SWLS scores significantly improved after the implant surgery [from 19.1 (7.0) to 28.9 (4.0), p<0.000]. Being unemployed vs. employed [17.9 (6.9) vs. 24.0 (5.3), p=0.000], having another child with hearing disability [13.5 (5.7) vs. 19.7 (6.9), p=0.001], younger (12-24 months) vs. older (>24 months) age of the child at the time of implant surgery [7.1 (0.4) vs. 19.7 (6.6), p=0.001], absence vs. presence of regular follow-up visits [13.0 (0.0) vs. 19.4 (7.1), p=0.002], and presence vs. absence of change in social life after the diagnosis of disease [17.3 (6.5) vs. 20.9 (7.1), p=0.001] were associated with significantly lower SWLS scores among mothers. SWLS scores were positively correlated with patient's age at the time of implant surgery (r=0.206, p=0.009), whereas negatively correlated with the number of household members (r=-0.406, p=0.000) and number of children (r=-0.310, p=0.000).

conclusionIn conclusion, our findings revealed the association of cochlear implantation with a significant increase in mother's life satisfaction, despite the unemployment, presence of another child with hearing disability, and crowded household. Our findings emphasize on the consideration of family systems with special attention to mother's emotional experiences and occupational competence in the intervention programs.
