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

Purpose: In the context of the recent expectation for state Early Hearing Detection and Intervention programs to track language milestones of deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children, we examine how to leverage statewide assessment programs for improving language outcomes of DHH children. We present the degree to which DHH children in Kansas are meeting their language milestones for ASL and English and the influence of two measurement features. Methods: Performance on the ASL/English Language Milestones for 198 DHH children (aged 1 to 8) was analyzed for attainment of age-expected language skills and language quotient scores for ASL and English using varying mastery criteria. Results: A small proportion of participants exhibited age-expected language skills (i.e., 20 of 198 for either language, 5 of 102 for ASL, and 16 of 170 for English). Participants exhibited ASL and English skills expected at about half of their chronological age, on average, with large variation across participants. Inclusion of DHH children with additional disabilities and less stringent mastery criterion (i.e., 80% versus 100%) had limited influence on the outcomes. Conclusions: Continued efforts are needed to leverage state assessment results strategically to inform policy decisions and to guide research and educational practices to improve language outcomes.
