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

This paper presents a Speech Enhancement (SE) technique based on multi-objective learning convolutional neural network to improve the overall quality of speech perceived by Hearing Aid (HA) users. The proposed method is implemented on a smartphone as an application that performs real-time SE. This arrangement works as an assistive tool to HA. A multi-objective learning architecture including primary and secondary features uses a mapping-based convolutional neural network (CNN) model to remove noise from a noisy speech spectrum. The algorithm is computationally fast and has a low processing delay which enables it to operate seamlessly on a smartphone. The steps and the detailed analysis of real-time implementation are discussed. The proposed method is compared with existing conventional and neural network-based SE techniques through speech quality and intelligibility metrics in various noisy speech conditions. The key contribution of this paper includes the realization of CNN SE model on a smartphone processor that works seamlessly with HA. The experimental results demonstrate significant improvements over the state-of-the-art techniques and reflect the usability of the developed SE application in noisy environments.
