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

This conceptual analysis proposes a triadic sonic pedagogy for relational ocean engagement, developed for educational and community-based ocean literacy and stewardship initiatives. Grounded in Pauline Oliveros's Deep Listening and Steven Feld's Sonic Relationality, it challenges extractivist imaginaries framing the ocean as passive, and builds on humanities scholarship recognizing oceanic dynamism, by emphasizing the ocean's acoustic agency in coastal and nearshore sonic practice. It develops three interconnected practices -the established practice of soundwalking, the emerging practice of soundsitting, and the novel pedagogical practice of soundweaving-that transform abstract marine concepts into lived multisensory encounters, strengthening empathy, communal bonds, and ethical stewardship. These scalable practices can be used sequentially within a single session or adapted flexibly to different contexts, drawing on multiple cultures and traditions to support careful, attuned engagement with ocean soundscapes. By centering the ocean's acoustic agency, this model challenges anthropocentric paradigms, positions sound as a portal for collective care, and contributes to ocean literacy, geocentric ethical awareness, and relational forms of ocean citizenship in a climate-challenged world.
