Mountable miniature microphones to identify and assign mouse ultrasonic vocalizations.
Article in Cell reports methods, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Mouse ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) are a promising model for studying vocal production. Although, in courtship interactions, males emit the majority of the USVs, female mice also produce USVs. In order to study the mechanisms of vocal production in freely behaving mice, it is necessary to identify the individual responsible for each syllable. Prior studies have used microphone arrays, but these are costly and require complex analyses to pinpoint the vocalizer. Here, we developed an inexpensive, ultrasound-sensitive wearable microphone to identify USVs from individual mice in socializing pairs. We reliably detected USVs and assigned 90% to a specific animal in a pair based on relative amplitude differences. When paired with video tracking, we increased the assigned percentage (97%) and described the courtship behavioral landscape in which USVs occur. These results offer a low-cost, simple method to study social communication between pairs of mice and other ultrasonically vocalizing animals.
