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

Background: Hearing Methods: This study was conducted in March 2026 on college students with hearing Results: The discrimination perception-shyness network had 12 cross-community edges (range: -0.044 to 0.057). Most were small (below 0.06), suggesting weak conditional associations. The strongest edge was Pd3-S5 (0.057). Pd3 showed the highest BEI (0.057). The discrimination perception-alexithymia network had 5 cross-community edges (range: 0.012 to 0.050). All were small (below 0.06). The strongest edge was Pd5-A2 (0.050). Pd6 showed the highest BEI (0.071). Conclusion: This study explored the relationships between discrimination perception, shyness, and alexithymia in hearing-impaired college students using network analysis methods. The Pd3 (Excluded from games) in the shyness network and Pd6 (Dishonesty) in the alexithymia network were identified as the highest bridge centrality nodes, suggesting that these are core symptoms connecting external stress to internal psychological adaptation difficulties and key triggers for social avoidance and emotional recognition difficulties in hearing-impaired college students. Thus, they represent the optimal targets for psychological intervention.
