School-aged children with mild bilateral and unilateral hearing loss: parents' experiences.
Article in Journal of deaf studies and deaf education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Approximately 50% of children first identified with hearing loss present with mild bilateral and unilateral hearing loss (MUHL), but little is known about their functioning in the school years. The purpose of this study was to examine caregivers' perceptions of their child's functioning and needs at school age. This qualitative inquiry was a follow-up to interviews conducted following the diagnosis of MUHL. Seventeen of the original 20 caregivers participated in this study. The median age of the children at the time of the interviews was 1.0 (8.7-10.7) years. Results represent parents' experiences in four key areas: (a) the challenge of transition, (b) the impact of hearing loss on functional outcomes, (c) the challenges of MUHL, including concerns about "falling through the cracks" and low expectations, and (d) the importance of advocacy. Parents indicated that while their child may not need as much direct support as children with more severe hearing loss, as parents, they still need support and guidance to navigate the educational system. These findings provide valuable insight into parents' perspectives, contribute to our understanding of the impact of MUHL on educational outcomes and highlight the need to ensure that these children are not overlooked.
