Effect of Contextual Information on Speech-In-Noise Perception among Young and Older Adults with Normal Hearing Sensitivity: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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
purposeThis study aimed to investigate the effect of contextual information on speech-in-noise perception among young and older adults with normal hearing sensitivity.
methodA comprehensive search was carried out in electronic databases, that is, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Embase, to identify relevant studies exploring the effects of context on speech-in-noise perception among younger and older adults. Studies comparing the perception of high- and low-context sentences in noise between young and older adults were included. Twenty studies involving 840 participants were included in the analysis. A mixed-method appraisal tool was employed for quality appraisal.
resultsMultitalker babble was found to be more challenging than other background noises. In high- and low-context conditions, young adults outperformed older adults. However, older adults benefited more from contextual cues. Meta-analysis showed that at moderate signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), contextual information more significantly improved speech-in-noise perception in older adults compared with young adults (Cohen's d = 0.30, 95% CI [0.09, 0.51]). Effect sizes were larger but non-significant at low (Cohen's d = 0.66, 95% CI [-0.30, 1.61]) and high (Cohen's d = 1.34, 95% CI [-0.64, 3.33]) SNRs because of high heterogeneity.
conclusionThis systematic review revealed many studies reporting greater contextual benefit for older adults and few studies showing comparable or reduced benefit for younger adults. The meta-analysis findings revealed greater benefits at moderate SNRs among older adults.
