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
Detecting a target sound within a mixture of sounds (referred to as auditory stream segregation) is crucial for perception in natural environments, a skill humans and animals excel at. This study investigates the role of temporal coherence in auditory stream segregation in human newborns using high-density EEG recordings. Sleeping newborns were exposed to temporally coherent auditory tone sequences embedded in random background tones, and their event-related responses were analyzed. The results indicate that newborns can segregate auditory streams based on temporal coherence, suggesting that this stream segregation is driven by automatic mechanisms from birth, as evidenced by brain responses resembling the object-related negativity (ORN) event-related potential (ERP) component. However, discriminating among different signal-to-noise ratios requires further fine-tuning, as evidenced by delayed latencies in neonates compared to adults. These findings indicate that temporal coherence aids in detecting and orienting toward salient stimuli, thereby laying the foundation for the development of abilities such as selective attention and speech perception.
