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 is designed to analyse the degree to which young deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children produce complex syntax in spoken English across different language sampling contexts. Forty-six DHH children aged 3 to 8 years completed narrative, conversation, and play language samples with an examiner. We coded the transcribed language samples for two precursors to complex syntax and 12 types of complex syntax. These 14 types formed six categories. For overall complex syntax production, participants produced complex syntax more densely at the utterance level in the conversation context than the play context. The complex syntax category analyses revealed differences in the proportion of multiple complex syntax categories in the conversation context relative to the narrative and play contexts. Complex syntax production varied systematically across sampling contexts. Therefore, sampling context should be considered when eliciting and interpreting complex syntax production in DHH children.
