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

This study introduces C-EMDNet, a nonlinear speech denoising approach that combines the adaptive decomposition capabilities of Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise (CEEMDAN) and a deep convolutional architecture operating directly in the time-intrinsic mode function (IMF) domain. Unlike conventional enhancement methods that rely on fixed time-frequency representations, such as the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), the proposed approach interprets CEEMDAN IMFs as a morphological latent space that captures the multi-scale structure of speech. A U-Net-like network was trained to estimate mode-wise masks, enabling selective noise suppression while preserving the harmonic and formant structures. Experiments on standard noisy speech datasets show that C-EMDNet outperforms classical denoising algorithms and competitive deep learning baselines. These results highlight the promise of nonlinear morphological representations for an alternative framework speech enhancement.
