Effects of Duration and Lexicality on Voicing Identification of Whispered Fricatives.
Article in Journal of psycholinguistic research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study focused on whispered speech in which a key feature, the voicing, is missing and examined whether variations in the duration of whispered consonants influence the identification of the voicing feature. We also examined lexical influences on the identification of the voicing feature during whispered speech perception by comparing words (/ʒaʁ/ jars “gander” vs. /ʃaʁ/ char “tank”) and nonwords (/ʒœʁ/ jeur vs. /ʃœʁ/ cheur). We used an identification task on an 11-step continuum going from the fricatives /ʒ/ to /ʃ/. Participants were tested either on the minimal pair of words /ʒaʁ/-/ʃaʁ/ or on the minimal pair of nonwords /ʒœʁ/-/ʃœʁ/. For both words and nonwords, the percentage of identification of the voiced /ʒ/ consonant decreased as the duration of the consonant increased. Inversely, the percentage of identification of the voiceless /ʃ/ consonant increased as the duration of the consonant increased. The effect of consonant duration was found stronger for words than for nonwords. Together, our results strengthen the claim that durational cues of voicing are exploited during whispered speech perception, and influence consonant identification. Moreover, the stronger effect of consonant duration for words than for nonwords indicates that activation of lexical representations exerts some influence on the way whispered consonants are identified. The implications of these results regarding spoken word recognition models are discussed.
