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
The vocalisations of female songbirds are more complex, widespread, and functionally important than previously thought; yet information is still depauperate compared to that of males. Here we provide the first recordings and analysis of the vocal behaviour of female Albert's lyrebirds, a species in which males are known for elaborate song and dance displays involving vocal mimicry. We document one female Albert's lyrebird vocalising during nest construction and another vocalising at a nest containing a nestling and find that, like males, female Albert's lyrebirds produce vocal mimicry, conspecific song, and alarm calls. However, female repertoires are both distinct from those of the males and used during female-specific contexts. Our results highlight the potential complexity of vocalisations produced by female songbirds and add to a small but growing list of species in which females produce vocal mimicry.
