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 study investigated how hearing depends on the whole body, head and trunk orientation relative to a sound source. In normal hearing humans we examined auditory thresholds and their ability to recognize logatomes (bi-syllabic non-sense words) at different whole body, head and trunk rotation relative to a sound source. We found that auditory threshold was increased and logatome recognition was impaired when the body or the trunk were rotated 40° away from a sound source compared to when the body or the trunk was oriented towards the sound source. Conversely, no effects were seen when only the head was rotated. Further, an increase of thresholds and impairment of logatome recognition were also observed after unilateral vibration of dorsal neck muscles that induces, per se, long-lasting illusory trunk displacement relative to the head. Thus, our findings support the idea that processing of acoustic signals depends on where a sound is located within a reference system defined by the subject's trunk coordinates.
