Consonant perception and error patterns in children and adults with cochlear implants.
Article in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study investigated the effects of hearing history on consonant perception scores and confusion patterns in early implanted youth (i.e., child-implanted) and post-lingually implanted adults (i.e., adult-implanted), as well as in participants with normal hearing (NH) who listened to spectrally degraded (vocoded) stimuli. Vocoded consonant perception improved with chronological age in children with NH. For the cochlear implant (CI) users, more auditory experience and shorter durations of deafness were associated with better consonant perception scores, especially in child-implanted listeners. Individuals in the child-implanted group also made significantly more errors in identifying the voiceless fricative, /θ/, than did adult-implanted listeners. Individual differences in phoneme error patterns could inform personalized intervention strategies, and child-implanted listeners might derive particular benefit from interventions that improve access to formant transitions or high-frequency energy. Moreover, while CI experience and early implantation benefit many CI users of all ages, delayed intervention may be more detrimental to the speech perception outcomes of prelingually deafened than post-lingually implanted individuals.
