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

Pupillometry has been shown to be a correlate for expected mental workload in a variety of cognitively demanding tasks, including those related to listening. Recent work has extended the application of pupillometry to interactive conversation by measuring how the pupil responds around turn-taking. This study furthers the application of pupillometry to conversation by evaluating differences in pupil responses during conversations taking place between individuals with and without hearing loss. Pairs of older Danish talkers (in which one had hearing loss, and one did not) held conversations in a variety of acoustic conditions, and their pupil responses were recorded throughout. Our findings show that both background noise and hearing loss modulate pupil responses during conversation, and further show correspondence between pupil dilation responses and measures of turn-taking behavior which have been suggested to be indicative of increased difficulty.
