Interplay between evolutionary history, morphological constraints and functional adaptations in the primate cochlea.

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
How the intricate mammalian cochlea evolved, and its functional implications, remain only partly understood. Here, we explore cochlear morphology across 101 extant and fossil species of the mammalian grand order Euarchonta using micro-computed tomography, three-dimensional geometric morphometrics and phylogenetic comparative analyses. We find substantial shape variation across taxa, likely driven by an interplay between evolutionary history, morphological constraints and potentially functional demands, although these remain difficult to interpret. Evolutionary models suggest the rate of cochlear shape evolution was heterogeneous, with some lineages showing particularly high rates, likely linked with adaptive selection pressures (e.g. tarsiers,
