Auditory mechanics of the tectorial membrane and the cochlear spiral.
Review in Current opinion in otolaryngology & head and neck surgery, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
purpose of reviewThis review is timely and relevant because new experimental and theoretical findings suggest that cochlear mechanics from the nanoscale to the macroscale are affected by the mechanical properties of the tectorial membrane and the cochlea's spiral shape. RECENT
findingsMain tectorial membrane themes addressed in this review are composition and morphology, nanoscale mechanical interactions with the outer hair cell bundle, macroscale longitudinal coupling, fluid interaction with inner hair cell bundles, and macroscale dynamics and waves. Main cochlear spiral themes are macroscale, low-frequency energy focusing and microscale organ of Corti shear gain. SUMMARY: Recent experimental and theoretical findings reveal exquisite sensitivity of cochlear mechanical performance to tectorial membrane structural organization, mechanics, and its positioning with respect to hair bundles. The cochlear spiral geometry is a major determinant of low-frequency hearing. These findings suggest a number of important research directions.
