Improved Speech Recognition with Automated ForwardFocus in Cochlear Kanso 3 Sound Processor Users.
Article in Otology & neurotology open, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05619575 (A Pre-market, Open-label, Within Subject Study, of Acceptance and Performance of the CP1170 Sound Processor in Experienced Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients Compared With the CP1150 Sound Processor and Their Current Sound Processor.), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Objective: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate adult cochlear implant (CI) users' speech perception in spatially separated noise (S0Nrearhalf) with SCAN 2 FF (automated ForwardFocus) versus SCAN 2 (ForwardFocus off) with the Cochlear Kanso 3 Sound Processor. Secondary objectives included comparing speech perception in the S0N3 configuration, speech perception in quiet between the Kanso 3 Sound Processor and the Kanso 2 Sound Processor, and evaluating user satisfaction and subjective hearing performance with the Kanso 3 Sound Processor versus their own sound processor. Study Design: Single-center, within-subject, interventional study (NCT05619575). Setting: Purpose-built clinical research unit for auditory device evaluation. Patients: Twenty adults who were postlingually deafened, with at least 6 months of experience with a CI and 3 months of experience with the SCAN program, were recruited. Intervention: The Kanso 3 Sound Processor with the SCAN 2 FF program. Main Outcome Measure: Paired difference in speech reception threshold (dB SNR) between the SCAN 2 FF and SCAN 2 programs with the Kanso 3 Sound Processor, as measured using the Australian Sentence Test in Noise. Results: Mean speech recognition thresholds were significantly lower (better) with SCAN 2 FF compared with SCAN 2 in both the S0Nrearhalf and S0N3 configurations by 2.00 dB and 1.43 dB, respectively ( Conclusions: This study reinforces the effectiveness of SCAN 2 FF in the Kanso 3 Sound Processor for improving speech perception in noise.
