Domains of Psychosocial Risk in School-Aged Cochlear Implant Users.
Article in Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to identify domains of psychosocial risk specific to school-aged cochlear implant (CI) users and to explain individual differences in psychosocial risk within the CI sample.
methodThe parent-completed Behavior Assessment System for Children was used to measure psychosocial functioning behaviors in 59 children with CIs and 52 children with hearing 7-19 years of age. Item-level differences between the CI and hearing samples were identified, and a principal components analysis (PCA) was conducted on differentiating items to identify at-risk psychosocial behavioral constructs specific to CI users. Associations between CI-specific risk constructs and audiological, speech-language, and neurocognitive functioning were investigated.
resultsCI users showed significantly greater psychosocial difficulties compared to their hearing peers on 14 items of the Behavior Assessment System for Children-Second Edition. A PCA on those items identified three domains that represent CI-specific psychosocial risks: communication deficit, social popularity, and executive functioning. Better receptive vocabulary and verbal comprehension were associated with better functioning in all three CI psychosocial risk domains. Better verbal short-term memory was associated with fewer risks related to communication deficit and social popularity, whereas better verbal working memory was associated with stronger executive functioning. Participants with stronger sentence recognition had fewer risks related to communication deficit.
conclusionsChildren and adolescents with CIs show specific elevated psychosocial risks for problems in social communication and executive functioning. Language abilities broadly influenced all psychosocial risk domains, while other cognitive abilities were more specifically associated with some psychosocial outcomes. Development of measures tailored to assess CI-specific domains of psychosocial risk is needed to inform targeted clinical intervention. SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.32913569.
