Kids are not just small adults: An attempt to validate pediatric tablet-based digits in noise testing.

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
Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate whether conductive hearing loss (CHL) can be differentiated from sensorineural hearing loss in children ages 3-18 using a diotic and antiphasic digits-in-noise (DIN) tablet-based test using existing adult cut-off criteria. Methods: A blinded multi-institutional prospective cohort of 64 children aged 3-18 scheduled for an audiometric soundbooth evaluation with a pediatric audiologist and a same-day otolaryngologist examination were recruited for the study. Following a conventional audiogram, the subjects underwent diotic (same-phased stimuli) and antiphasic (out-of-phase stimuli) DIN testing on a HearX Samsung Galaxy tablet with over-the-ear headphones, for a total of 128 measurements. DIN test results were compared with soundbooth audiometry using known adult "cut off criteria." Results: A logistic regression analysis adjusted for demographics (age, sex) and race was performed to compare CHL determination from DIN testing to CHL determination with soundbooth audiometry. The results showed 50% agreement with a Conclusion: This preliminary analysis of DIN testing indicated that DIN and audiometric testing completed in a soundbooth were not significantly predictive of one another in the population of children aged 3-18 when using the adult cut-off criteria for CHL differentiation. Given these findings, further testing is required in children to determine pediatric specific cut-off values.
