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

Objectives: This study aimed to revisit and update the normative data for the Turkish HINT by presenting headphone and loudspeaker results, establishing reference values in a quiet, non-sound-treated room, and identifying common clinical application errors with recommendations for improving test accuracy and consistency. Methods: This was a prospective cross-sectional study. A total of 30 normal-hearing adults were participated. The measurements were performed in a quiet, non-sound-treated room in an ENT clinic. Each participant was tested with both headphones and loudspeakers under four listening conditions: Quiet, Noise Front (NF), Noise Right (NR), and Noise Left (NL). The Reception Threshold for Sentences (RTS) in quiet and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in three conditions (NF, NR, and NL) were assessed. Results: The mean scores and standard deviations of the best two-score averages obtained with headphones and loudspeakers were presented. A significant multivariate effect of presentation mode (loudspeakers vs. headphones) was detected ( Conclusions: Normative data for headphones and loudspeakers in a quiet room rather than a sound-treated booth were provided. Such data are important because many clinics either lack access to sound-treated booths or have booths that are too small to accommodate the loudspeakers. In addition, several issues encountered during test administration were discussed, and practical solutions were presented.
