Spectral weighting functions for lateralization and localization of complex sound.
Article in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Perceptual weighting of sound localization cues across spectral components was measured over headphones [experiment (expt.) 1] and in the free field (expt. 2) and quantified in the form of spectral weighting functions (SWFs). Stimuli consisted of five complex sounds (conditions), each containing seven frequency components. Participants judged the spatial position of the stimuli with spatial cues varying across frequency components. In separate experiments, free-field stimuli were presented anechoically (expt. 2), in the presence of simulated reverberation (expt. 3), or with stimuli varying in level either corrected for equal loudness (expt. 4.1) or sloped by ±6 dB per component (expt. 4.2). Overall results revealed greatest weight in the vicinity of 800 Hz, for both localization and interaural time difference (ITD)-based lateralization, although specific features of the SWFs did vary across stimulus conditions. The shape of the SWF follows the pattern of ITD sensitivity across frequency and is consistent with previous descriptions of an ITD "dominance region" peaking around 600-800 Hz. The close similarity of free field and ITD-based SWFs is further consistent with the hypothesized dominant role of low-frequency ITD in localization of broadband sounds. Other conditions revealed relatively modest effects of reverberation and component level.
