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

A main question in cognitive neuroscience is whether brain rhythms during speech perception reflect intrinsic neural oscillations or simply responses evoked by the acoustic signal. A recent intracranial study interpreted persistent auditory activity after acoustic edges as evidence for entrainment. We show that a similar rhythmic pattern is already present in the speech stimulus itself, supporting an evoked-response account instead. This highlights the need for routine stimulus-signal analyses as a critical control in studies of naturalistic speech processing.
