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

This study uses a mixed-method sequential approach to explore the prevalence, perceptions and experiences of deaf children in relation to their emotional well-being in Northern Ireland. While there is a small body of research exploring the application of human rights treaties for deaf children, there is an absence of research that applies a rights-based framework to their emotional well-being. Drawing on findings from our study we argue that deaf children experience a lack of inclusive time and space(s) across their lives, and that they carry undue burden and responsibilities in implementing their own rights. We argue that these factors contribute to the higher prevalence of mental health conditions they experience compared to their hearing peers. We further examine the role of a rights framework as a facilitator to better well-being, drawing on children's views on ways forward, arguing that effective implementation of rights is a precondition to positive well-being.
