Singing out of tune: sexual and developmental differences in the occurrence of nonlinear phenomena in primate songs.
Article in Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Animal vocalizations contain a varying degree of nonlinear phenomena (NLP) caused by irregular or chaotic vocal organ dynamics. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain NLP presence, from unintentional by-products of poor vocal technique to having a functional communicative role. We aimed to disentangle the role of sex, age and physiological constraints in the occurrence of NLP in the songs of the lemur
