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

In inner ear hair cells, activation of mechanotransduction channels is followed by extremely rapid deactivation that depends on the influx of Ca(2+) through these channels. Although the molecular mechanisms of this "fast" adaptation are largely unknown, the predominant models assume Ca(2+) sensitivity as an intrinsic property of yet unidentified mechanotransduction channels. Here, we examined mechanotransduction in the hair cells of young postnatal shaker 2 mice (Myo15(sh2/sh2)). These mice have no functional myosin-XVa, which is critical for normal growth of mechanosensory stereocilia of hair cells. Although stereocilia of both inner and outer hair cells of Myo15(sh2/sh2) mice lack myosin-XVa and are abnormally short, these cells have dramatically different hair bundle morphology. Myo15(sh2/sh2) outer hair cells retain a staircase arrangement of the abnormally short stereocilia and prominent tip links. Myo15(sh2/sh2) inner hair cells do not have obliquely oriented tip links, and their mechanosensitivity is mediated exclusively by "top-to-top" links between equally short stereocilia. In both inner and outer hair cells of Myo15(sh2/sh2) mice, we found mechanotransduction responses with a normal "wild-type" amplitude and speed of activation. Surprisingly, only outer hair cells exhibit fast adaptation and sensitivity to extracellular Ca(2+). In Myo15(sh2/sh2) inner hair cells, fast adaptation is disrupted and the transduction current is insensitive to extracellular Ca(2+). We conclude that the Ca(2+) sensitivity of the mechanotransduction channels and the fast adaptation require a structural environment that is dependent on myosin-XVa and is disrupted in Myo15(sh2/sh2) inner hair cells, but not in Myo15(sh2/sh2) outer hair cells.
