Hearing and speech processing in midlife.
Review in Hearing research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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.
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
Middle-aged adults often report a decline in their ability to understand speech in adverse listening situations. However, there has been relatively little research devoted to identifying how early aging affects speech processing, as the majority of investigations into senescent changes in speech understanding compare performance in groups of young and older adults. This paper provides an overview of research on hearing and speech perception in middle-aged adults. Topics covered include both objective and subjective (self-perceived) hearing and speech understanding, listening effort, and audiovisual speech perception. This review ends with justification for future research needed to define the nature, consequences, and remediation of hearing problems in middle-aged adults.
