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

backgroundThe goal of managing auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is to restore the children's ability to discriminate auditory information. Children who are not making sufficient progress in speech comprehension, and speech and language development after receiving adequate auditory re/habilitation and/or acoustic amplification may be candidates for cochlear implantation (CI). Despite the growing number of published literature on CI outcomes in children with ANSD, the current evidence is primarily based on case reports or retrospective chart reviews some of which had a limited number of children. In addition, the outcomes of CI seem to vary between children with ANSD. Thus, compelling evidence is lacking. This updated systematic review evaluated the speech perception, language, and speech intelligibility outcomes of children with ANSD post-CI.

methodsAn online bibliographic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and CENTRAL databases. We included both interventional and observational studies that assessed the outcomes of the CI in  children with ANSD.

resultsThirty-three studies were included in this systematic review. Several tests were used to assess speech perception following CI in children with ANSD. The findings of this study revealed that  children with ANSD had mean Categories of Auditory Performance scores ranging from 4.3 to 7 post-operatively, this result was better than the pre-operative scores which ranged between 0.4 to 2.5. Likewise, the Infant-Toddler Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale, Phonetically Balanced Kindergarten, and multisyllabic lexical neighborhood test showed clinically relevant improvement after CI. The same findings were reported for language and speech intelligibility scores. One study investigated the quality of life/children satisfaction after CI and showed overall good satisfaction with the outcomes.

conclusionsThe present systematic review suggests that CI is a feasible and effective hearing  rehabilitation modality for children with ANSD. REGISTRATION AND PROTOCOL: PROSPERO ID: CRD42021279140.
