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
The ability to identify the words spoken by one talker masked by two or four competing talkers was tested in young-adult listeners with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). In a reference/baseline condition, masking speech was colocated with target speech, target and masker talkers were female, and the masker was intelligible. Three comparison conditions included replacing female masker talkers with males, time-reversal of masker speech, and spatial separation of sources. All three variables produced significant release from masking. To emulate energetic masking (EM), stimuli were subjected to ideal time-frequency segregation retaining only the time-frequency units where target energy exceeded masker energy. Subjects were then tested with these resynthesized "glimpsed stimuli." For either two or four maskers, thresholds only varied about 3 dB across conditions suggesting that EM was roughly equal. Compared to normal-hearing listeners from an earlier study [Kidd, Mason, Swaminathan, Roverud, Clayton, and Best, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 140, 132-144 (2016)], SNHL listeners demonstrated both greater energetic and informational masking as well as higher glimpsed thresholds. Individual differences were correlated across masking release conditions suggesting that listeners could be categorized according to their general ability to solve the task. Overall, both peripheral and central factors appear to contribute to the higher thresholds for SNHL listeners.
