Masking level differences under two different measurement conditions: A normative study of young adults.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThe objective of this study was to determine the gender-specific normative values of masking level difference (MLD) in healthy young adults for two different measurement conditions.
methodsOne hundred young adults between the ages of 19 and 25 were included. Tympanometry, pure tone audiometry, and MLD were performed. In the first MLD measurement condition, the threshold level where the signal was out of phase and the noise was in phase (SπNo) was subtracted from the threshold level where the signal and noise were in phase (SoNo). In the second MLD measurement condition, the threshold level where the signal was in phase and the noise was out of phase (SoNπ) was subtracted from the threshold level where the signal and noise were in phase (SoNo). The mean test scores were obtained in decibels. Comparisons were made in terms of gender and conditions.
resultsThe mean MLD for SoNo-SπNo condition was 10.3 ± 1.99 dB. For SoNo-SoNπ condition, the mean MLD was 6.72 ± 2.38 dB. A significant difference was determined between the MLD under two different measurement conditions (p <.05). There was no significant difference in terms of gender (p >.05).
conclusionMean normative values of MLD test scores in gender-specific healthy young adults for two different measurement conditions are presented.
