Integrative physiology of fundamental frequency control in birds.
Review in Journal of physiology, Paris, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 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
One major feature of the remarkable vocal repertoires of birds is the range of fundamental frequencies across species, but also within individual species. This review discusses four variables that determine the oscillation frequency of the vibrating structures within a bird's syrinx. These are (1) viscoelastic properties of the oscillating tissue, (2) air sac pressure, (3) neuromuscular control of movements and (4) source-filter interactions. Our current understanding of morphology, biomechanics and neural control suggests that a complex interplay of these parameters can lead to multiple combinations for generating a particular fundamental frequency. An increase in the complexity of syringeal morphology from non-passeriform birds to oscines also led to a different interplay for regulating oscillation frequency by enabling control of tension that is partially independent of regulation of airflow. In addition to reviewing the available data for all different contributing variables, we point out open questions and possible approaches.
