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

Listeners of all ages and hearing abilities must contend with the fact that speech is often heard in challenging conditions. Research has found that the process of spoken word recognition changes in these contexts, but what these changes represent and whether they have meaningful effects on outcomes is unknown. Here, we build on recent work by applying a principal component analysis approach to eye-tracking data to show that these changes reflect a set of underlying dimensions that are shared across two types of challenging listening (noise and vocoding). Moreover, we show that individual listener's use of each dimension is largely consistent across challenge types and is predicted by domain-general factors. Finally, we show that changes to word recognition offer indirect benefits to performance in challenging conditions, but only for some listeners.
