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

Humans are able to hear in a variety of complicated acoustic environments. This feat begins in the peripheral auditory system, where the cochlea collects and transmits thousands of individual bits of sound data to the brain. Here, we introduce GSP Cochlea: a graph signal processing-based framework to investigate and visualize sound encoding. We show that a cochlea graph with a mesh topology provides a mechanism of denoising, efficient information transfer, and modular processing. We demonstrate an application to assess hearing loss as more than just a decibel loss at particular frequencies of sound but also a significant change to the cochlea graph architecture. GSP Cochlea is a generalized approach that provides new insight into the higher-level functional activity of the inner ear.
