Tympanic membrane surface motions in forward and reverse middle ear transmissions.

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
Characterization of Tympanic Membrane (TM) surface motions with forward and reverse stimulation is important to understanding how the TM transduces acoustical and mechanical energy in both directions. In this paper, stroboscopic opto-electronic holography is used to quantify motions of the entire TM surface induced by forward sound and reverse mechanical stimulation in human cadaveric ears from 0.25 to 18.4 kHz. The forward sound stimulus was coupled to an anatomically realistic artificial ear canal that allowed optical access to the entire TM surface, and the reverse mechanical stimulus was applied to the body of the incus by a piezo-electric stimulator. The results show clear differences in TM surface motions evoked by the two stimuli. In the forward case, TM motion is dominated by standing-wave-like modal motions that are consistent with a relatively uniform sound-pressure load over the entire TM surface. With reverse mechanical stimulation, the TM surface shows more traveling waves, consistent with a localized mechanical drive applied to the manubrium embedded in the TM. With both stimuli, the manubrium moves less than the rest of the TM, consistent with the TM acting like a compliant membrane rather than a stiff diaphragm, and also consistent with catenary behavior due to the TM's curved shape.
