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

Speech recognition thresholds were measured as a function of the relative level between two speech maskers that differed in perceptual similarity from the target. Results showed that recognition thresholds were driven by the relative level between the target and perceptually similar masker when the perceptually similar masker was softer, and by the relative level between the target and both maskers when the perceptually similar masker was louder. This suggests that effectiveness of a two-talker masker is primarily determined by the masker stream that is most perceptually similar to the target, but also by the relative levels between the two maskers.
