Fluid-Structure Finite-Element Modelling and Clinical Measurement of the Wideband Acoustic Input Admittance of the Newborn Ear Canal and Middle Ear.
Article in Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology : JARO, 2017. 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
The anatomical differences between the newborn ear and the adult one result in different input admittance responses in newborns than those in adults. Taking into account fluid-structure interactions, we have developed a finite-element model to investigate the wideband admittance responses of the ear canal and middle ear in newborns for frequencies up to 10 kHz. We have also performed admittance measurements on a group of 23 infants with ages between 14 and 28 days, for frequencies from 250 to 8000 Hz with 1/12-octave resolution. Sensitivity analyses of the model were performed to investigate the contributions of the ear canal and middle ear to the overall admittance responses, as well as the effects of the material parameters, measurement location and geometrical variability. The model was validated by comparison with our new data and with data from the literature. The model provides a quantitative understanding of the canal and middle-ear resonances around 500 and 1800 Hz, respectively, and also predicts the effects of the first resonance mode of the middle-ear cavity (around 6 kHz) as well as the first and second standing-wave modes in the ear canal (around 7.2 and 9.6 kHz, respectively), which may explain features seen in our high-frequency-resolution clinical measurements.
