1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 study of non-human animals that are vocal learning, which is the ability to alter the structure of vocalizations, has provided important insights into our understanding of the evolution and development of vocal communication and language. Of particular interest is vocal convergence where individuals learn the vocalizations shared by their social group. Although the development of shared vocalizations has received extensive study across vocal learning species, less attention has been given to the use of these learned signals, especially whether individuals stress the expression of vocalizations that signal high status and deemphasize those that do not. Previous field and captivity studies of Brown-headed Cowbirds (
