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

A fundamental scientific goal in auditory neuroscience is identifying what mechanisms allow the brain to transform an unlabeled mixture of auditory stimuli into distinct perceptual representations. This transformation is accomplished by a complex interaction of multiple neurocomputational processes, including Gestalt grouping mechanisms, categorization, attention, and perceptual decision-making. Despite a great deal of scientific energy devoted to understanding these principles of hearing, we still do not understand either how auditory perception arises from neural activity or the causal relationship between neural activity and auditory perception. Here, we review the contributions of cortical and subcortical regions to auditory perceptual decisions with an emphasis on those studies that simultaneously measure behavior and neural activity. We also put forth challenges to the field that must be faced if we are to further our understanding of the relationship between neural activity and auditory perception.
