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

Speech processing in the human brain is grounded in non-specific auditory processing in the general mammalian brain, but relies on human-specific adaptations for processing speech and language. For this reason, many recent neurophysiological investigations of speech processing have turned to the human brain, with an emphasis on continuous speech. Substantial progress has been made using the phenomenon of "neural speech tracking", in which neurophysiological responses time-lock to the rhythm of auditory (and other) features in continuous speech. One broad category of investigations concerns the extent to which speech tracking measures are related to speech intelligibility, which has clinical applications in addition to its scientific importance. Recent investigations have also focused on disentangling different neural processes that contribute to speech tracking. The two lines of research are closely related, since processing stages throughout auditory cortex contribute to speech comprehension, in addition to subcortical processing and higher order and attentional processes.
