From beeps to streets: unveiling sensory input and relevance across auditory contexts.
Article in Frontiers in neuroergonomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Introduction: This study investigates the neural basis of sound perception in everyday life using EEG data recorded in an office-like environment over 3.5 h. We aimed to understand how contextual factors such as personal relevance, task complexity, and stimulus properties influence auditory processing in ecologically valid settings. Methods: By systematically increasing the complexity of acoustic scenes and tasks, we analyzed changes in neural responses, focusing on the N100 and P300 components. Results: Our results show that while the P300 is a stable marker of attention in both isolated sounds and complex soundscapes, the N100 is more sensitive to task complexity and environmental factors. Discussion: These findings highlight the importance of context in shaping auditory perception and suggest that laboratory-based findings can be partially generalized to real-world settings. At the same time, task demands significantly influence neural markers. This opens new opportunities to study sound perception in naturalistic environments without sacrificing the control typically afforded by laboratory studies.
