Whistling While it Works: Spontaneous Otoacoustic Emissions and the Cochlear Amplifier.
Review in Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology : JARO, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Perhaps the most striking evidence for active processes operating within the inner ears of mammals and non-mammals alike is their ability to spontaneously produce sound. Predicted by Thomas Gold in 1948, some 30 years prior to their discovery, the narrow-band sounds now known as spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) remain incompletely understood, their origins controversial. Without a single equation in the main text, we review the essential concepts underlying the "local-" and "global-oscillator" frameworks for understanding SOAE generation. Comparing their key assumptions and predictions, we relate the two frameworks to unresolved questions about the biophysical mechanisms of cochlear amplification.
