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

Cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs) terminally differentiate prior to the onset of hearing. During this time period, thyroid hormone (TH) dramatically influences inner ear development. It has been shown recently that TH enhances the expression of the motor protein prestin via liganded TH receptor beta (TRbeta) while in contrast the expression of the potassium channel KCNQ4 is repressed by unliganded TRalpha1. These different mechanisms of TH regulation by TRalpha1 or TRbeta prompted us to analyse other ion channels that are required for the final differentiation of OHCs. We analysed the onset of expression of the Ca(2+) channel Ca(V)1.3, and the K(+) channels SK2 and BK and correlated the results with the regulation via TRalpha1 or TRbeta. The data support the hypothesis that proteins expressed in rodents prior to or briefly after birth like Ca(V)1.3 and prestin are either independent of TH (e.g. Ca(V)1.3) or enhanced through TRbeta (e.g. prestin). In contrast, proteins expressed in rodents later than P6 like KCNQ4 ( approximately P6), SK2 ( approximately P9) and BK ( approximately P11) are repressed through TRalpha1. We hypothesise that the precise regulation of expression of the latter genes requires a critical local TH level to overcome the TRalpha1 repression.
