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

This study aimed to determine the characteristics of sound localization in children with unilateral microtia and atresia (UMA) and the influence of a non-surgical bone conduction device (BCD). Hearing benefits were evaluated by the word recognition score (WRS), speech reception threshold, the international outcome inventory for hearing aids (IOI-HA), and the Speech, Spatial, and Qualities of Hearing Test for Parent (SSQ-P). Sound localization was measured using broadband noise stimuli randomly played from seven loudspeakers at different stimulus levels [65, 70, and 75 dB sound pressure levels (SPLs)]. The average unaided WRS and speech-to-noise ratio (SNR) for UMA patients was 18.27 ± 14.63 % and -5 ± 1.18 dB SPL, and the average aided WRS and SNR conspicuously changed to 85.45 ± 7.38 % and -7.73 ± 1.42 dB SPL, respectively. The mean IOI-HA score was 4.57 ± 0.73. Compared to the unaided condition, the mean SSQ-P score in each domain improved from 7.08 ± 2.5, 4.86 ± 2.27, and 6.59 ± 1.4 to 8.72 ± 0.95, 7.61 ± 1.52, and 8.55 ± 1.09, respectively. In the sound localization test, some children with UMA were able to detect sound sources quite well and the sound localization abilities did not deteriorate with the non-surgical BCD. Our study concludes that for children with UMA, the non-surgical BCD provided a definite benefit on speech recognition and high satisfaction without deteriorating their sound localization abilities. It is an efficient and safe solution for the early hearing intervention of these patients.
