Background noise inhibits listeners' use of contextual cues for dysarthric speech.
Article in JASA express letters, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Contextual clues aid in speech perception, especially when the signal is degraded by speech disorders or background noise. This study examined whether different types of degradation affect how listeners use contextual predictability. Two groups of 50 listeners were tested across three conditions: dysarthric speech, neurotypical speech masked by noise, and dysarthric speech masked by noise. Listeners relied on semantic context similarly for dysarthric speech in quiet and neurotypical speech in noise (single degradations). However, when dysarthric speech was masked by noise (concurrent degradation), contextual benefit was greatly reduced. Findings highlight the communication burden noise adds for understanding dysarthric speech.
