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

The 'Taringa Whakarongo' [TW] project presents the first narratives on hearing loss and hearing healthcare [HHC] among kaumātua and whānau. The purpose behind the project was to explore kaumātua and their whānau lived experiences of hearing loss and HHC. Hearing health care professionals' and Māori health professionals' perspectives were also examined. Through a Kaupapa Māori lens and reflexive thematic analysis, the sense of hearing was identified as a taonga among kaumātua. However, colonisation, societal stigma of hearing loss, and barriers to accessing whānau-centred HHC and hearing technology continue to impact kaumātua with hearing difficulties and their whānau. Hard-of-hearing kaumātua can thrive in their communities when they and their whānau are supported. Highlighted in this article are key recommendations for the Crown and health sector based on research partner narratives including valuing and prioritising whānau-centered care; supporting whakawhanaungatanga, Māori HHC leadership and culturally safe care; continuing Kaupapa Māori research endeavours and adopting an Indigenous rights-based approach to hearing health.
