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

Humans are sensitive to interaural time differences (ITDs) conveyed by slow modulations on high-frequency carrier signals. Sensitivity appears to be affected by temporal envelope sharpness, but it is unclear if there is a limit to which sharpness affects sensitivity. Pulse trains were varied in relative bandwidth (re: critical bandwidths) and center frequency. ITD sensitivity increased with increasing bandwidth. There was no effect of center frequency when relative bandwidths were analyzed, suggesting that the temporal envelope sharpness (concomitantly absolute bandwidth in Hz) did not affect performance. Rather, sensitivity was most easily explained by recruitment of additional auditory channels.
