Functional Interplay Between the Putative Measures of Rostral and Caudal Efferent Regulation of Speech Perception in Noise.
Article in Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology : JARO, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Efferent modulation has been demonstrated to be very important for speech perception, especially in the presence of noise. We examined the functional relationship between two efferent systems: the rostral and caudal efferent pathways and their individual influences on speech perception in noise. Earlier studies have shown that these two efferent mechanisms were correlated with speech perception in noise. However, previously, these mechanisms were studied in isolation, and their functional relationship with each other was not investigated. We used a correlational design to study the relationship if any, between these two mechanisms in young and old normal hearing individuals. We recorded context-dependent brainstem encoding as an index of rostral efferent function and contralateral suppression of otoacoustic emissions as an index of caudal efferent function in groups with good and poor speech perception in noise. These efferent mechanisms were analysed for their relationship with each other and with speech perception in noise. We found that the two efferent mechanisms did not show any functional relationship. Interestingly, both the efferent mechanisms correlated with speech perception in noise and they even emerged as significant predictors. Based on the data, we posit that the two efferent mechanisms function relatively independently but with a common goal of fine-tuning the afferent input and refining auditory perception in degraded listening conditions.
