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

backgroundEvidence suggests that individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) are a heterogeneous population and may present with their unique needs that set them apart from general disability group. Current studies have focused on the parents' experiences of DHH, lacking evidence on teachers' experiences and perspectives of rehabilitation inclusion in Chinese rural context. Thus, this study aimed to identify key themes from teachers' experiences regarding the challenges ("bad" things) and successes ("good" things) in educating students with DHH, while also exploring their perspectives of rehabilitation inclusion within the context of the Chinese educational system, particularly in rural areas.

methodsThe exploratory qualitative research design was employed in this study. Participants were recruited from a public special education school situated in Jian'ou, Fujian province, China by using a purposive sampling strategy. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis.

resultsAfter the nineteenth interview, data saturation was deemed achieved. Five themes emerged from the collected data analysis: (1) role as a life-and-study co-instructor, (2) teacher-and-student bidirectional social, emotional, and financial support, (3) diverse and inclusive communication between teachers and deaf and hard of hearing children, (4) lack of policy-related, institutional and cultural information about deaf and hard of hearing children, and (5) awareness the rehabilitation to be integrated within the educational context.

conclusionThe findings suggested that more attention should be focused on public special education school in underdeveloped rural areas of China. Although this study provided rich information of the targeted population, future research should incorporate rigorous quantitative methods to strengthen the scientific foundation of the findings and enhance their generalizability.
