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

Objective: To examine audiovisual (AV) sentence recognition performance in adults with moderate-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss who are cochlear implant (CI) candidates, and to identify the demographic, audiologic, and cognitive-linguistic abilities that explain individual differences in AV performance. Study Design: Cross-sectional observational study. Setting: Tertiary referral center. Patients: Twenty-four postlingually deafened adults (mean age = 70.3 years, SD = 11.2) meeting clinical CI candidacy criteria in both ears, with no known history of cognitive or neurological disorders. Interventions: Participants completed the Multimodal Lexical Sentence Test (MLST) for Adults for AV sentence recognition and a battery of cognitive-linguistic tasks measuring short-term memory, working memory, inhibition-concentration, nonverbal reasoning, and speed of lexical/phonological access. Main Outcome Measures: AV sentence recognition accuracy on the MLST. Results: MLST performance varied broadly across participants (range = 11%-98%, mean = 67.6, SD = 29.7) and was strongly correlated with auditory-only sentence recognition abilities ( Conclusions: AV sentence recognition in adult CI candidates is partially explained by short-term memory capacity. Ecologically valid AV assessments may help identify cognitively mediated barriers to real-world communication that are not captured using conventional auditory-only speech recognition tests.
