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

Stories, Chirps, And Noisy Sentences (MEG-SCANS) is a dataset that provides raw magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings from 24 German-speaking subjects. Each subject listened to approximately one hour of stimuli, including two audiobooks, sentences from the Oldenburger Matrix Sentence Test (OLSA) for Speech Reception Threshold (SRT) assessment, and short up-chirps used to assess MEG signal quality. The dataset includes MEG data, structural MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans of the head, corresponding audio material (audiobooks, OLSA envelopes, and chirp stimuli), and behavioral audiogram and SRT results from hearing screenings. Organized according to the Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS), this resource offers a robust benchmark for large-scale encoding/decoding analyses of temporally-resolved brain responses to speech. Comprehensive Matlab and Python code are included to replicate key data validations, ensuring transparency and reproducibility.
