The Effect of Cochlear Implant Interval on Spoken Language Skills of Pediatric Bilateral Cochlear Implant Users.
Article in Otology & neurotology : official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo examine the effects of cochlear implant (CI) interval (time between CI surgeries) on receptive vocabulary and receptive language skills for children with bilateral CIs. STUDY
designA prospective cross-sectional study design.
settingParticipants were recruited from, and tested at, oral schools for the deaf and pediatric audiology clinics across the United States. PATIENTS: Eighty-eight children, 4 to 9 years of age, with bilateral CIs and known hearing histories. Twenty-three participants received CIs simultaneously and 65 received CIs sequentially. Of those implanted sequentially, 86% wore a hearing aid (HA) on the non-implanted ear during the CI interval.
interventionBilateral cochlear implantation.
main outcome measuresReceptive vocabulary was measured via the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT). Receptive language skills were measured via the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals (CELF).
resultsMultiple linear regression models indicate better receptive vocabulary and receptive language skills are associated with earlier ages at first CI (CI 1), but not with shorter CI intervals.
conclusionsEarly cochlear implantation (i.e., age at CI 1) is critical for better receptive vocabulary and receptive language skills. Shorter CI intervals are not associated with better receptive vocabulary and receptive language skills for these 88 children, who nearly all used bimodal hearing during the interval. Use of a HA at the non-implanted ear, before receipt of a second CI (CI 2), may mitigate the effects of early bilateral auditory deprivation.
