Reading abilities of adolescents with cochlear implants: the role of early speech perception in a longitudinal study.

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
objectiveTo examine reading skills of adolescents who use cochlear implants (CIs) and who were implanted early. Three questions are asked: (1) Do these pediatric CI recipients read at age-appropriate levels at adolescence, as they had done at elementary-ages (Grantham et al. [2022]. Effects of segmental and suprasegmental speech perception on reading in pediatric cochlear implant recipients.
designEighty-six orally educated children with a mean age of CI of 2 years completed a standardized reading comprehension test at elementary ages (7-11 years) and at adolescent ages (11-16 years). They completed speech perception tests when they were 5-9 years old (early) and again at 7-11 years of age (elementary-age). Reading comprehension scores from elementary and adolescent ages were compared, and the effects of early and elementary-age speech perception on adolescent reading were examined.
resultsThe mean reading passage comprehension standard score was within the normative range for typically hearing age-mates at both elementary-age and adolescent testing. Early suprasegmental speech perception was the only significant speech perception predictor of adolescent reading skills, after controlling for demographic and audiological variables.
conclusionsThese data bolster the recent literature reporting good reading skills, on average, for children who received early CIs and highlight the long-term benefits of good early suprasegmental speech perception skills. Both segmental and suprasegmental perception should be included in audiological candidacy criteria and educational intervention for children with CIs.
