Auditory Brainstem Encoding of Speech-in-Noise Predicts Word Identification, Narrative Comprehension, and Subjective Listening Effort in a Selective Attention Task.
Article in eNeuro, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The auditory brainstem plays a crucial role in speech-in-noise (SiN) listening, refining numerous acoustic features such as pitch and spatial location under continual descending influence from the cortex. However, the difficulty of characterizing brainstem activity during continuous speech listening has obscured its functional role in ecologically valid contexts-not only the effects of selective attention on neural responses but also their impact on comprehension and listening effort. Here, we evaluated the role of the brainstem in SiN perception and other listening behaviors using a continuous, speech-based stimulus with embedded chirps (Cheech) that rapidly and effectively evoked auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) while 25 participants listened to short story narratives (
