Alterations in cortical 40-Hz auditory steady-state response dynamics in children with mild-to-severe hearing loss are related to hearing aid use.

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
Children who are hard-of-hearing (CHH) show greater variability in language and academic outcomes than children with normal hearing (CNH) throughout development, despite early detection and intervention. Nonetheless, our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying sensory and cognitive processing in CHH remains incomplete. The 40-Hz cortical auditory steady-state response (ASSR) has been widely used as a marker of auditory system integrity and shown to relate to cognition. Thus, the current study sought to determine the impact of mild-to-severe hearing loss on cortical ASSR dynamics. Thirty-seven participants ages 7-15 years old heard a broadband click train stimulus presented at 40 Hz binaurally during magnetoencephalography (MEG). Peak sources in the bilateral primary auditory cortices were identified, and the power envelope of the 40 Hz ASSR was extracted as a function of time and submitted to linear mixed modeling. We found a significant three-way interaction, suggesting that CHH exhibit altered ASSR dynamics between hemispheres compared to CNH. Moreover, hearing aid use was significantly correlated with left hemisphere ASSR power in CHH. These data underscore the importance of consistent auditory access in CHH and provide preliminary evidence that neuroimaging may hold promise in determining the mechanisms underlying behavioral variability in this population.
