1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 characteristics of an auditory steady-state response (ASSR) signal can be affected by the pathophysiological statuses of the left and right ears, such as a smeared sensation by native spectral smearing owing to sensorineural hearing impairment, because they can affect the perception of the stimulus, the degree of concentration on the stimulus and comfort in concentration. However, to date, few studies have examined the effects of such smeared sensations on the amplitude of the evoked ASSR signal. In this study, we synthesized various auditory stimuli with different degrees of spectral smearing using a hearing loss simulator to match the age of participant groups with different degrees of spectral smearing. We then performed three subjective tests, representing symmetric and asymmetric bilateral spectral smearing, with 16 normal-hearing individuals to observe the effects of the severity and symmetricity of bilateral spectral smearing, the value of the carrier frequency of auditory stimuli, and the sex of the individual on the amplitude in evoked ASSR signals. The experimental results demonstrated the following: (1) the application of spectral smearing to normal sounds may result in amplitude-reduced ASSR signals, (2) the effect of spectral smearing on the amplitude of the ASSR signals is most significant when the degrees of bilateral spectral smearing are asymmetric, (3) the selection of carrier frequency in an auditory stimulus can affect the amplitude of evoked ASSR signals regardless of the degree of spectral smearing, and (4) the sex of the individual can affect the amplitude of the evoked ASSR signal in various test conditions. The results of this study can help estimate the effects of smeared sensation by spectral smearing owing to sensorineural hearing impairment on the amplitude of evoked ASSR signals.
