Hyperacusis in gifted children and its impact on quality of life.

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
purposeThe aim of this study is to determine the presence of hyperacusis in gifted children and evaluate its effect on quality of life.
methodsThe study included 47 children between the ages of 7 and 12 who did not have hearing loss, who were diagnosed as gifted by scoring 120 or more on the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children-IV (WISC-IV) and who did not have any accompanying disabilities, and 27 age and gender matched children with normal intelligence.The 'Pediatric Hyperacusis Questionnaire Parent Form(P-HQ)' was applied to the children for hyperacusis assessment, and the 'Quality of Life Inventory for Children (PedsQL)' was applied for quality of life.
resultsWhen the pediatric hyperacusis questionnaire parent form scores were compared between the groups, a statistically significant difference was obtained (p =.000).In the quality of life assessment made using the quality of life scale for children, a statistically significant difference was obtained between the groups in the sub-parameters of the test; physical health total score (p =.000),emotional functioning score (p =.032),social functioning score (p =.007),school functioning score (p =.000) and scale total score (p =.000).
conclusionOur study results showed that gifted children mostly complain of hyperacusis and that this complaint increases as their intelligence level increases.We believe that hyperacusis and its effect on quality of life should not be ignored in gifted children.Whenever possible, gifted children should be evaluated for hyperacusis and sensory sensitivities.We think that individualized therapy planning is necessary for the difficulties caused by sensory sensitivities that affect quality of life. Our findings revealed the necessity of hyperacusis assessment and therapy when working with gifted individuals.
