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

There is mounting evidence that maternal sensitivity contributes to optimal child development, but little is known about dyads including deaf mothers and their hearing infants. Deaf adults experience a range of adversities in their role as a parent, and it is unclear how these experiences influence early interactions with their child. Videos of 28 deaf mothers playing with their four-to-eight-month-old hearing infants were coded using the CARE-Index. Dyadic synchrony of most dyads were found to be sensitive or adequate. However, 21% of dyads were likely to benefit from education and/or intervention to increase sensitive interactions. Compared to the rest of the dyads, they displayed lower levels of maternal sensitivity and infant cooperativeness, as well as higher levels of maternal unresponsiveness and infant passivity. Results were influenced by socioeconomic status and potentially by vocal and social touch behaviour. Methodological, theoretical and clinical considerations are offered for professionals working with deaf mothers and their hearing infants.
