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

This study examined whether interaural amplitude modulation (AM) coherence influences binaural pitch fusion in cochlear implant (CI) users. Fourteen adults, including seven bimodal and seven bilateral CI users, completed fusion-range measurements using dichotic stimuli under unmodulated, coherent AM and two incoherent AM conditions involving interaural AM-phase and AM-rate mismatches. Coherent AM consistently broadened fusion ranges, often doubling those in the unmodulated condition, even with shallow modulation depth. In contrast, incoherent AM, including interaural phase or rate mismatches, narrowed fusion. These findings indicate that temporal-envelope coherence facilitates binaural integration in CI users, emphasizing its importance for auditory processing and CI sound-processing design.
