Spectral Resolution and Speech Perception in Cochlear Implanted School-Aged Children.
Article in Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveCochlear implantation of prelingually deaf infants provides auditory input sufficient to develop spoken language; however, outcomes remain variable. Inability to participate in speech perception testing limits testing device efficacy in young listeners. In postlingually implanted adults (aCI), speech perception correlates with spectral resolution an ability that relies independently on frequency resolution (FR) and spectral modulation sensitivity (SMS). The correlation of spectral resolution to speech perception is unknown in prelingually implanted children (cCI). In this study, FR and SMS were measured using a spectral ripple discrimination (SRD) task and were correlated with vowel and consonant identification. It was hypothesized that prelingually deaf cCI would show immature SMS relative to postlingually deaf aCI and that FR would correlate with speech identification. STUDY
designCross-sectional study.
settingIn-person, booth testing.
methodsSRD was used to determine the highest spectral ripple density perceived at various modulation depths. FR and SMS were derived from spectral modulation transfer functions. Vowel and consonant identification was measured; SRD performance and speech identification were analyzed for correlation.
resultsFifteen prelingually implanted cCI and 13 postlingually implanted aCI were included. FR and SMS were similar between cCI and aCI. Better FR was associated with better speech identification for most measures.
conclusionPrelingually implanted cCI demonstrated adult-like FR and SMS; additionally, FR correlated with speech identification. FR may be a measure of CI efficacy in young listeners.
