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

It is generally assumed that listeners with normal audiograms have relatively symmetric hearing, and more specifically that diotic stimuli (having zero interaural differences) are heard as centered in the head. While measuring intracranial lateralization with a visual pointing task for tones and 50-Hz-wide narrowband noises from 300 to 700 Hz, examples of systematic and large (>50% from midline to the ear) lateralization biases were found. In a group of ten listeners, five showed consistent lateralization bias to the right or left side at all or a subset of frequencies. Asymmetries in hearing, not apparent in audiometric thresholds, may explain these lateralization biases.
