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

Interaural time difference (ITD) sensitivity with cochlear implant stimulation is remarkably similar to envelope ITD sensitivity using conventional acoustic stimulation. This holds true for human perception, as well as for neural response rates recorded in the inferior colliculus of several mammalian species. We hypothesize that robust excitatory-inhibitory (EI) interaction is the dominant mechanism. Therefore, we connected the same single EI-model neuron to either a model of the normal acoustic auditory periphery or to a model of the electrically stimulated auditory nerve. The model captured most features of the experimentally obtained response properties with electric stimulation, such as the shape of rate-ITD functions, the dependence on stimulation level, and the pulse rate or modulation-frequency dependence. Rate-ITD functions with high-rate, amplitude-modulated electric stimuli were very similar to their acoustic counterparts. Responses obtained with unmodulated electric pulse trains most resembled acoustic filtered clicks. The fairly rapid decline of ITD sensitivity at rates above 300 pulses or cycles per second is correctly simulated by the 3.1-ms time constant of the inhibitory post-synaptic conductance. As the model accounts for these basic properties, it is expected to help in understanding and quantifying the binaural hearing abilities with electric stimulation when integrated in bigger simulation frameworks.
