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

Katydids (Insecta, Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae) possess a sophisticated foreleg ear with two tympana receiving sound externally through a pinna that acts as a bat detector and internally through an acoustic trachea for conspecific communication. Their miniature scale hinders experimentation, prompting the use of scaled models, yet previous studies have not replicated the full pinna-tympana assembly or the complete acoustic trachea. In this study, micro-CT imaging, AI-assisted segmentation and multi-material 3D-printed assembly were used to generate scaled models. Scaled copies of the pinna-tympanum assembly and the complete acoustic trachea of the neotropical katydid
