Pitch perception at very high frequencies: On psychometric functions and integration of frequency information.
Article in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Lau et al. [J. Neurosci. 37, 9013-9021 (2017)] showed that discrimination of the fundamental frequency (F0) of complex tones with components in a high-frequency region was better than predicted from the optimal combination of information from the individual harmonics. The predictions depend on the assumption that psychometric functions for frequency discrimination have a slope of 1 at high frequencies. This was tested by measuring psychometric functions for F0 discrimination and frequency discrimination. Difference limens for F0 (F0DLs) and difference limens for frequency for each frequency component were also measured. Complex tones contained harmonics 6-10 and had F0s of 280 or 1400 Hz. Thresholds were measured using 210-ms tones presented diotically in diotic threshold-equalizing noise (TEN), and 1000-ms tones presented diotically in dichotic TEN. The slopes of the psychometric functions were close to 1 for all frequencies and F0s. The ratio of predicted to observed F0DLs was around 1 or smaller for both F0s, i.e., not super-optimal, and was significantly smaller for the low than for the high F0. The results are consistent with the idea that place information alone can convey pitch, but pitch is more salient when phase-locking information is available.
