An elemental approach to modelling the mechanics of the cochlea.
Review in Hearing research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 motion along the basilar membrane in the cochlea is due to the interaction between the micromechanical behaviour of the organ of Corti and the fluid movement in the scalae. By dividing the length of the cochlea into a finite number of elements and assuming a given radial distribution of the basilar membrane motion for each element, a set of equations can be separately derived for the micromechanics and for the fluid coupling. These equations can then be combined, using matrix methods, to give the fully coupled response. This elemental approach reduces to the classical transmission line model if the micromechanics are assumed to be locally-reacting and the fluid coupling is assumed to be entirely one-dimensional, but is also valid without these assumptions. The elemental model is most easily formulated in the frequency domain, assuming quasi-linear behaviour, but a time domain formulation, using state space method, can readily incorporate local nonlinearities in the micromechanics. Examples of programs are included for the elemental model of a human cochlea that can be readily modified for other species.
