Pulse-rate discrimination deficit in cochlear implant users: is the upper limit of pitch peripheral or central?
Article in Hearing research, 2019. 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
Cochlear implant (CI) users do not reliably associate an increase in pulse rate above 300 pulses per second (pps) with an increase in pitch. The locus of this upper limit of pitch remains unknown. The present study tested the hypothesis that this deficit resides at least initially at the auditory nerve. The hypothesis was tested by comparing pulse rate discrimination in different neural excitation patterns, in which a large versus small population of auditory nerve fibers was activated. If poorer pulse rate discrimination was found under conditions where narrower spread of neural excitation (SOE) was anticipated where a relatively small neural population was activated, then it would support the hypothesis that the rate processing deficit found in CI users is related to peripheral neural degeneration. Nine listeners (12 ears) implanted with the Cochlear Americas Nucleus
