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

Perception of sound is a fundamental role of the auditory system. Traveling with the force of their mechanical energy, sound waves are captured by the ear and activate the sensory pathway of this complex organ. The hair cells, specialized sensory cells within the inner ear, transmit the mechanical energy into electrical nerve stimuli that reach the brain. A large number of proteins are responsible for the overarching tasks required to maintain the complex mechanism of sound sensation. Many hearing disorders are due to single gene defects inherited in a Mendelian fashion, thus enabling clinical diagnostics. However, at the same time, hearing impairment is genetically heterogeneous, with both common and rare forms occurring due to mutations in over 100 genes. The crosstalk between human and mouse genetics has enabled comprehensive studies on gene identification and protein function, taking advantage of the tools animal models have to offer. The aim of the following review is to provide background and examples of human deafness genes and the discovery of their function in the auditory system.
