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

backgroundThe somatic electromotility of the outer hair cells can be induced by an extracellular electrical field. This enables us to investigate the electromechanically induced motion of the organ of Corti.

methodsThe electrically induced motion of the guinea-pig organ of Corti was measured with a laser Doppler vibrometer in three cochlear turns at ten radial positions on the reticular lamina (RL) and six on each of the upper and lower surfaces of the tectorial membrane (TM). RESULTS AND

conclusionsWe found a complex vibration pattern of the RL and TM, leading to a stimulus synchronous modulation of the depth of the subtectorial space in the region of the inner hair cells (IHCs). This modulation causes radial fluid motion inside the space up to at least 3 kHz. This motion is capable of deflecting the IHC stereocilia and provides an amplification mechanism additional to that associated with basilar-membrane motion.
