Effect of modulated masking on electrophysiological and behavioral measures.
Observational study in CoDAS, 2025. 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
purposeTo analyze the Benefit of Modulated Masking (BMM) in electrophysiological and behavioral measurements in young and adult normal-hearing individuals.
methodsObservational and cross-sectional analytical study, with a final research sample consisted of 40 participants, 20 individuals aged 18 to 30 years (young adults) and 20 individuals aged 31 to 50 years (adults), to carry out behavioral assessment (Sentence recognition test in the presence of stable and modulated noise) and electrophysiological (Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential) for BMM investigation. The results were analyzed using the paired t-test and ANOVA for repeated measures, applied by the Bonferroni post-hoc test (p-value <0.05).
resultsLess interference from modulated noise was identified in the latency and amplitude measurements of cortical components, generating a significant reduction in P1 latency and an increase in P2 amplitude in both groups of participants. Stable noise generated higher electrophysiological and behavioral thresholds compared to modulated noise. A greater magnitude of BMM was observed in the young-adult group.
conclusionIn both groups of participants, less interference from modulated noise was identified in the encoding time of the neural auditory response and in the process of neural discrimination of speech. Furthermore, behavioral and electrophysiological thresholds were typically higher in stable noise when compared to modulated noise, pointing to a correspondence between BMM measurements between hearing domains. The magnitude of the higher BMM in the young-adult group, especially in the electrophysiological domain, suggests a greater temporal resolution ability in younger individuals.
