On the Effect of High Stimulation Rates on Temporal Loudness Integration in Cochlear Implant Users.
Article in Trends in hearing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Long stimuli have lower detection thresholds or are perceived louder than short stimuli with the same intensity, an effect known as temporal loudness integration (TLI). In electric hearing, TLI for pulse trains with a fixed rate but varying number of pulses, i.e. stimulus duration, has mainly been investigated at clinically used stimulation rates. To study the effect of an overall effective stimulation rate at 100% channel crosstalk, we investigated TLI with (a) a clinically used single-channel stimulation rate of 1,500 pps and (b) a high stimulation rate of 18,000 pps, both for an apical and a basal electrode. Thresholds (THR), a line of equal loudness (BAL), and maximum acceptable levels (MALs) were measured in 10 MED-EL cochlear implant users. Stimulus durations varied from a single pulse to 300 ms long pulse trains. At 18,000 pps, the dynamic range (DR) increased by
