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

In pandemic times, when visual speech cues are masked, it becomes particularly evident how much we rely on them to communicate. Recent research points to a key role of neural oscillations for cross-modal predictions during speech perception. This article bridges several fields of research - neural oscillations, cross-modal speech perception and brain stimulation - to propose ways forward for research on human communication. Future research can test: (1) whether "speech is special" for oscillatory processes underlying cross-modal predictions; (2) whether "visual control" of oscillatory processes in the auditory system is strongest in moments of reduced acoustic regularity; and (3) whether providing information to the brain via electric stimulation can overcome deficits associated with cross-modal information processing in certain pathological conditions.
