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

An objective metric that predicts speech intelligibility under different types of noise and distortion would be desirable in voice communication. To date, the majority of studies concerning speech intelligibility metrics have focused on predicting the effects of individual noise or distortion mechanisms. This study proposes an objective metric, the spectrogram orthogonal polynomial measure (SOPM), that attempts to predict speech intelligibility for people with normal hearing under adverse conditions. The SOPM metric is developed by extracting features from the spectrogram using Krawtchouk moments. The metric's performance is evaluated for several types of noise (steady-state and fluctuating noise), distortions (peak clipping, center clipping, and phase jitters), ideal time-frequency segregation, and reverberation conditions both in quiet and noisy environments. High correlation (0.97-0.996) is achieved with the proposed metric when evaluated with subjective scores by normal-hearing subjects under various conditions.
