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

Reverberation can degrade speech intelligibility and comprehension, increase cognitive load, and impair memory. Many studies examining reverberation effects use audio-only conditions and stationary background noise. Thus, it remains unclear to what extent findings generalise beyond laboratory setups. In the present study, we examine the influence of reverberation on memory and behavioural listening effort in a complex, audiovisual virtual reality (VR) environment. We implemented a virtual reality (VR) open-plan office with realistic room acoustics and time-varying background noise, including animated virtual agents. Three simulated room-acoustic conditions were compared: a free-field (
