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

In the United States alone, unilateral hearing loss (UHL) affects 0.1 to 5% of school-aged children and 0.04 to 3.4% of infants at birth. Several studies from the 1980s and 1990s raised the specter that UHL in children was not as benign as common wisdom suggested. In children 6 to 12 years old, UHL is associated with significantly poorer oral language skills and vocabulary intelligence quotient scores. Children with UHL are at higher risk of receiving individualized educational plans in school and speech therapy. Quality of life in children also may be negatively affected by UHL, similar to children with bilateral hearing loss. Although a growing number of audiologists, deaf educators, and otolaryngologists acknowledge the problems that many children with UHL experience, the larger medical and educational communities still tend to discount UHL as a problem for children. Further research is necessary to identify the children with UHL who may benefit from interventions and to determine which interventions are most effective in children with UHL.
