Lipreading: A Review of Its Continuing Importance for Speech Recognition With an Acquired Hearing Loss and Possibilities for Effective Training.
Review in American journal of audiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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
purposeThe goal of this review article is to reinvigorate interest in lipreading and lipreading training for adults with acquired hearing loss. Most adults benefit from being able to see the talker when speech is degraded; however, the effect size is related to their lipreading ability, which is typically poor in adults who have experienced normal hearing through most of their lives. Lipreading training has been viewed as a possible avenue for rehabilitation of adults with an acquired hearing loss, but most training approaches have not been particularly successful. Here, we describe lipreading and theoretically motivated approaches to its training, as well as examples of successful training paradigms. We discuss some extensions to auditory-only (AO) and audiovisual (AV) speech recognition.
methodVisual speech perception and word recognition are described. Traditional and contemporary views of training and perceptual learning are outlined. We focus on the roles of external and internal feedback and the training task in perceptual learning, and we describe results of lipreading training experiments.
resultsLipreading is commonly characterized as limited to viseme perception. However, evidence demonstrates subvisemic perception of visual phonetic information. Lipreading words also relies on lexical constraints, not unlike auditory spoken word recognition. Lipreading has been shown to be difficult to improve through training, but under specific feedback and task conditions, training can be successful, and learning can generalize to untrained materials, including AV sentence stimuli in noise. The results on lipreading have implications for AO and AV training and for use of acoustically processed speech in face-to-face communication.
conclusionGiven its importance for speech recognition with a hearing loss, we suggest that the research and clinical communities integrate lipreading in their efforts to improve speech recognition in adults with acquired hearing loss.
