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 literature surrounding auditory perceptual learning and auditory training for challenging speech signals in older adult listeners is highly varied, in terms of both study methodology and reported outcomes. In this review, we discuss some of the pertinent features of listener, stimulus, and training protocol. Literature regarding the elicitation of auditory perceptual learning for time-compressed speech, non-native speech, and noise-vocoded speech is reviewed, as are auditory training protocols designed to improve speech-in-noise recognition. The literature is synthesized to establish some over-arching findings for the aging population, including an intact capacity for auditory perceptual learning, but a limited transfer of learning to untrained stimuli.
