Contralateral efferent reflex effects on threshold and suprathreshold psychoacoustical tuning curves at low and high frequencies.
Article in Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology : JARO, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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
Medial olivocochlear efferent neurons can control cochlear frequency selectivity and may be activated in a reflexive manner by contralateral sounds. The present study investigated the significance of the contralateral medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) on human psychoacoustical tuning curves (PTCs), a behavioral correlate of cochlear tuning curves. PTCs were measured using forward masking in the presence and in the absence of a contralateral white noise, assumed to elicit the MOCR. To assess MOCR effects on apical and basal cochlear regions over a wide range of sound levels, PTCs were measured for probe frequencies of 500 Hz and 4 kHz and for near- and suprathreshold conditions. Results show that the contralateral noise affected the PTCs predominantly at 500 Hz. At near-threshold levels, its effect was obvious only for frequencies in the tails of the PTCs; at suprathreshold levels, its effects were obvious for all frequencies. It was verified that the effects were not due to the contralateral noise activating the middle-ear muscle reflex or changing the postmechanical rate of recovery from forward masking. A phenomenological computer model of forward masking with efferent control was used to explain the data. The model supports the hypothesis that the behavioral results were due to the contralateral noise reducing apical cochlear gain in a frequency- and level-dependent manner consistent with physiological evidence. Altogether, this shows that the contralateral MOCR may be changing apical cochlear responses in natural, binaural listening situations.
