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.

Abstract

Persons with hearing aids or cochlear implants often have difficulty understanding speech well, especially in noisy environments. Auditory perceptual training can help improve an individual's ability to discriminate and identify sound. The current study aimed to determine the efficacy of the ALICE (Assistant for Listening and Communication Enhancement) program, a self-guided home-based hearing care program including monitoring, training and counseling. A multicentric study was carried out, including hearing aid centers and a cochlear implant center in Flanders (Belgium). Adult participants were randomly assigned to an intervention (
