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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveIn practice, the unilateral monosyllabic speech recognition score with hearing aid (WRS MATERIALS AND

methodsData from real-ear measurements (REM), pure tone and speech audiogram, and speech recognition with and without hearing aid of 93 ears in 64 patients were examined. The patients visited the authors' hearing center for hearing aid evaluation in 2019. Deviations of the real-ear measured frequency-dependent output level values from the prescription targets NAL-NL2 and DSL v5.0 were analyzed. Spearman correlation coefficients for the speech intelligibility index (SII) were calculated for the parameters WRS

resultsIn more than 67% of the hearing aid fittings, output level values matched the target curves of NAL-NL2 or DSL v5.0 in the range of ±5 dB for frequencies from 0.5 to 4 kHz at 65 dB SPL. Nevertheless, WRS

conclusionFor patients with severe to profound hearing loss, the prescription targets of NAL-NL2 and DSL v5.0 do not provide sufficient amplification for WRS
