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

Sound-induced flash illusion (SiFI) refers to an auditory dominance effect in which observers misperceive the number of visual flashes due to the simultaneous presentation of a different number of auditory beeps. Although the SiFI remains robust despite many factors, little is known about how the dominance of audition over vision changes as a function of spatial location in 3D space and how this corresponds with aging. In the present study, we recruited younger (18-26 years old) and older adults (60-76 years old) and presented visual stimuli in near space and auditory stimuli in far space (Vnear_Afar) or visual stimuli in far space and auditory stimuli in near space (Vfar_Anear), with the aim of exploring the effect of aging on spatial dominance in SiFI. The results showed that both participant groups exhibited a SiFI auditory dominance effect; however, older adults were more susceptible to illusions than younger adults. More importantly, for younger adults, when auditory stimuli were presented in far space, the accuracy and d' indicated that SiFI was significantly enhanced in the fission illusion, and the reaction time (RT) results showed that RT became longer in the fusion illusion. However, for older adults, the SiFI was not affected by the spatial location. Therefore, the present results reveal for the first time that the SiFI effect is modulated by the depth of auditory stimuli. Moreover, older adults were not susceptible to the depth dimension, thus showing age-related sensory decline and specifically showing a decreased ability to localize visual and auditory stimuli.
