Knowledge and Perceptions of Pediatric Hearing Loss among University Students in Jordan.
Article in International archives of otorhinolaryngology, 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
Introduction: Early identification of pediatric hearing loss is vital to reduce long-term developmental consequences; however, awareness among future healthcare professionals remains limited in many low- and middle-income countries. Objective: To assess the knowledge and perceptions of university students in Jordan regarding pediatric hearing loss. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using a questionnaire that evaluated the students' awareness of the common causes and risk factors for hearing loss in children, perceptions of early intervention, and self-reported confidence in identifying and referring potential cases. The awareness and perception items were grouped into two categories, and misconception rates were calculated as the proportion of respondents answering Results: A total of 411 students participated (response rate: 84.4%); most were aged from 18 to 25 years (81%) and female (53%), with 65% of them enrolled in the Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences, Al-Ahliyya Amman University, Jordan. Misconceptions were more common in awareness items (mean: 30.4%), with the highest rate observed for the belief that neonatal meningitis or seizures do not cause hearing loss (44%). Perception items showed lower misconception rates (mean :13.4%), with the highest being that parental suspicion should not influence clinical opinion (26%). The Chi-squared analysis revealed that higher awareness was significantly associated with year of study ( Conclusion: Despite their positive attitudes, students showed limited clinical knowledge. Strengthening audiology education in health science university programs may improve early detection and intervention outcomes in Jordan.
