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 intelligibility in cochlear implant (CI) users degrades considerably in listening environments with reverberation and noise. Previous research in automatic speech recognition (ASR) has shown that phoneme-based speech enhancement algorithms improve ASR system performance in reverberant environments as compared to a global model. However, phoneme-specific speech processing has not yet been implemented in CIs. In this paper, we propose a causal deep learning framework for classifying phonemes using features extracted at the time-frequency resolution of a CI processor. We trained and tested long short-term memory networks to classify phonemes and manner of articulation in anechoic and reverberant conditions. The results showed that CI-inspired features provide slightly higher levels of performance than traditional ASR features. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to provide a classification framework with the potential to categorize phonetic units in real-time in a CI.
