Auditory localization: a comprehensive practical review.
Review in Frontiers in psychology, 2024. 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
Auditory localization is a fundamental ability that allows to perceive the spatial location of a sound source in the environment. The present work aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms and acoustic cues used by the human perceptual system to achieve such accurate auditory localization. Acoustic cues are derived from the physical properties of sound waves, and many factors allow and influence auditory localization abilities. This review presents the monaural and binaural perceptual mechanisms involved in auditory localization in the three dimensions. Besides the main mechanisms of Interaural Time Difference, Interaural Level Difference and Head Related Transfer Function, secondary important elements such as reverberation and motion, are also analyzed. For each mechanism, the perceptual limits of localization abilities are presented. A section is specifically devoted to reference systems in space, and to the pointing methods used in experimental research. Finally, some cases of misperception and auditory illusion are described. More than a simple description of the perceptual mechanisms underlying localization, this paper is intended to provide also practical information available for experiments and work in the auditory field.
