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

In complex acoustic environments, both humans and animals are frequently exposed to sounds from multiple sources. The detection threshold for a target sound (or probe) can be elevated by interference sounds (masker) originating from various locations. This masking effect is reduced when the probe and masker are spatially separated compared to when they are colocalized, thereby improving the perception of the probe. This phenomenon is known as spatial release from masking. Currently, the neuronal and synaptic mechanisms underlying spatial release from masking in the auditory cortex are not fully understood. Here we employed single-unit recording and
