Self-Reported Reasons for the Non-Use of Hearing Aids Among Hispanic Adults With Hearing Loss.
Article in American journal of audiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Purpose To examine the self-reported reasons for the non-use of hearing aids among Mexican-American Hispanic adults who have hearing loss. Method A total of 122 Hispanic adults with hearing loss, who did not currently or previously use a hearing aid, participated in this study. Participants completed a comprehensive hearing health questionnaire and the Hearing Handicap Inventory Screening Questionnaire to examine the possible reasons for the non-use of hearing aids. Results Self-reported hearing loss, hearing handicap score, and health insurance status were the best predictors of an individual's willingness to use hearing aids to treat their hearing loss. The primary reasons cited for the non-use of hearing aids among Hispanics with hearing loss was the belief that their hearing impairment was not severe enough to warrant using a hearing aid and that hearing aids were unaffordable. Conclusions Greater public health education regarding the deleterious effects of untreated hearing loss and the positive impact of amplification on cognitive, social, and psychological health may be warranted to improve the usage rates of hearing aids in Hispanic adults.
