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

backgroundThere is a dearth of information on the effects of bone conductive devices on temporal processing in individuals with single-sided deafness (SSD). This study investigates the effect of an adhesive bone conductive device on temporal processing in adults with SSD.

methodsA prospective cohort study of temporal processing in adults with SSD was undertaken. Outcome measures were the pitch pattern test (PPT) and the duration pattern test (DPT) scores, sound field pure tone audiometric (PTA) averaged hearing thresholds, and word recognition scores (WRS). These were measured under 3 conditions: unaided in quiet, unaided in noise, and aided in noise. Eight SSD novice hearing amplification users were recruited.

resultsThe adhesive bone conduction device (BCD) resulted in a statistically-significant improvement (Wilcoxon signed ranks test,

conclusionsAdults with SSD demonstrated improved temporal processing scores with masking of the normal-hearing ear when using an adhesive BCD placed behind the deafened ear.
