Potential Consequences of Spectral and Binaural Loudness Summation for Bilateral Hearing Aid Fitting.
Article in Trends in hearing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Aversiveness of loud sounds is a frequent complaint by hearing aid users, especially when fitted bilaterally. This study investigates whether loudness summation can be held responsible for this finding. Two aspects of loudness summation should be taken into account: spectral loudness summation for broadband signals and binaural loudness summation for signals that are presented binaurally. In this study, the effect of different symmetrical hearing losses was studied. Measurements were obtained with the widely used technique of Adaptive Categorical Loudness Scaling. For large bandwidths, spectral loudness summation for hearing-impaired listeners was found to be greater than that for normal-hearing listeners, both for monaurally and binaurally presented signals. For binaural loudness summation, the effect of hearing loss was not significant. In all cases, individual differences were substantial.
