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

Misophonia is a newly recognized disorder characterized primarily by negative multi-modal emotional responses (e.g., behavioral, attentional, somatic, interpersonal, and cognitive) to certain repetitive sounds and related stimuli, usually produced by other people. Previous research has found that adults with misophonia commonly report that it begins in childhood and can cause significant psychological distress and functional impairment at home, school, and/or work. However, little is known about the challenges and perspectives of those raising a child with misophonia. Therefore, the purpose of the current study was to investigate the impact of caring for a child with misophonia, specifically in a sample of caregivers reporting any financial strain. We surveyed adult caregivers of people with misophonia (N = 22) to collect both descriptive and qualitative information. Using guidelines for reflexive thematic analysis [5], several themes emerged: (1) Household Impacted, (2) Caregivers Impacted, (3) Financial Impact of Misophonia, and (4) Non-financial Barriers to Care. This study highlights some of the challenges parents experience and explores shortcomings in treatment, advocacy, and awareness to inform misophonia researchers and clinicians on how to best support families raising someone with misophonia.
