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

Previous findings suggest that forward masking in the amplitude-modulation (AM) domain includes both sensory and perceptual components. The sensory component reflects masking associated with AM-rate-selective neural channels, whereas the perceptual component reflects masking associated with perceived target-masker similarity. In this article, it is shown that AM forward masking can be substantially reduced or even eliminated by reducing perceived target-masker similarity. It is suggested, therefore, that, under certain conditions, AM forward masking includes, at most, a weak sensory component along with a stronger perceptual component related to perceived target-masker similarity. This complicates interpretations of AM forward masking that rely on AM-rate-selective neural channels.
