Limiting asymmetric hearing improves benefits of bilateral hearing in children using cochlear implants.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers.
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
Neurodevelopmental changes occur with asymmetric hearing loss, limiting binaural/spatial hearing and putting children at risk for social and educational challenges. These deficits may be mitigated by providing bilateral hearing in children through auditory prostheses. Effects on speech perception and spatial hearing were measured in a large cohort of >450 children who were deaf and used bilateral cochlear implants or bimodal devices (one cochlear implant and a contralateral hearing aid). Results revealed an advantage of bilateral over unilateral device use but this advantage decreased as hearing in the two ears became increasingly asymmetric. Delayed implantation of an ear with severe to profound deafness allowed asymmetric hearing, creating aural preference for the better hearing ear. These findings indicate that bilateral input with the most appropriate device for each ear should be provided early and without delay during development.
