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

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of source-specific (independent) and conventional dynamic range compression (DRC) on sound quality ratings among listeners with hearing loss when ground-truth signals are available to the compressor. Twenty listeners with mild to moderately severe sensorineural hearing loss rated the sound quality on different subscales for two types of signal mixtures: speech in music (Overall Sound Quality, Speech Clarity, and Music Pleasantness) and speech in noise (Overall Sound Quality, Speech Clarity, and Noisiness) at three speech-to-background ratios (SBR: -10, 0, +10 dB). Speech in music was a 10-second-long spontaneous speech excerpt with a duration-matched classical music excerpt. Speech in noise had the same speech signal mixed with speech-shaped noise. Conventional DRC applied a 50-ms release time to the mixed signals, whereas independent DRC applied a 50-ms release time for speech and a 2000-ms release time for music or noise
