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

Bilateral cochlear-implant users experience interaural frequency mismatch because of asymmetries in array insertion and frequency-to-electrode assignment. To explore the acute perceptual consequences of such mismatch, sentence recognition in quiet was measured in nine bilateral cochlear-implant listeners as frequency allocations in the poorer ear were shifted by ±1.5, ±3 and ±4.5 mm using experimental programs. Shifts in frequency allocation >3 mm were found to reduce bilateral sentence scores below those for the better ear alone, suggesting that the poorer ear interfered with better-ear perception. This was not a result of fewer active channels; deactivating electrodes without frequency shifting had minimal effect.
