Choir Singing and Music Appreciation Training Enhances Unaided Speech-in-Noise Perception and Frequency Following Responses for Older Adult Hearing Aid Users: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Review in Seminars in hearing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Hearing aids (HAs) improve speech perception in quiet environments but remain less effective in noisy conditions, posing significant communication challenges for older adults. Musical training has been proposed as a potential intervention to enhance speech-in-noise (SIN) perception through auditory neuroplasticity. This randomized controlled trial investigated the impact of a 14-week music-based intervention on auditory outcomes in older adult HA users. Forty-seven participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: choir singing (
