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

Thyroid hormone receptor beta (TRbeta) dysfunction leads to deafness in humans and mice. Deafness in TRbeta(-/-) mutant mice has been attributed to TRbeta-mediated control of voltage- and Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK) channel expression in inner hair cells (IHCs). However, normal hearing in young constitutive BKalpha(-/-) mutants contradicts this hypothesis. Here, we show that mice with hair cell-specific deletion of TRbeta after postnatal day 11 (P11) have a delay in BKalpha expression but normal hearing, indicating that the origin of hearing loss in TRbeta(-/-) mutant mice manifested before P11. Analyzing the phenotype of IHCs in constitutive TRbeta(-/-) mice, we found normal Ca(2+) current amplitudes, exocytosis, and shape of compound action potential waveforms. In contrast, reduced distortion product otoacoustic emissions and cochlear microphonics associated with an abnormal structure of the tectorial membrane and enhanced tectorin levels suggest that disturbed mechanical performance is the primary cause of deafness resulting from TRbeta deficiency.
