Top-Down Auditory Plasticity: Acceptable Noise Level Predicts and Reflects the Effect of Perceptual Learning in Experience-Induced Plasticity.
Article in Iranian journal of child neurology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveIn the auditory system, tinnitus and superior speech perception in noise are examples of negative and positive plasticity that can result from sensory neural hearing loss and life experiences dealing with more complex stimuli and learning, respectively. The main objective of this study was to determine the relationship between acceptable noise level (ANL) values and perceptual learning in individuals exposed to unavoidable occupational noise. MATERIALS &
methodsHere we document a form of plasticity in top-down auditory pathways through the measurement of the acceptable noise level in 60 adults, 27 females and 33 males, with normal hearing (Amiraalam state Hospital, Tehran, Iran 2016). Individuals were assigned to one of two groups: those with and without the occupational experience of speech perception in noise.
resultsThe test group had statistically significant lower acceptable noise level and significantly higher background noise level scores compared with the control group.
conclusionUsing acceptable noise level, we attributed differences in individuals' abilities to tolerate varying amounts of background noise and speech perception in noise function to the auditory efferent system. Working in crowded locations due to job nature can influence differences in speech perception in noise function.
