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

Specialized sensory-transducing hair cells regenerate in response to injury in non-mammalian vertebrates such as birds and fish but not in mammals. Previous work has shown that overexpression of microRNA181a (miR181a) in cultured chicken basilar papillae, the avian counterpart of the cochlea, is sufficient to stimulate proliferation with production of new hair cells. The present study investigates the role of miR181a in hair cell regeneration after injury in explants of chicken auditory epithelia. Basilar papillae were explanted from 0-day-old chickens and transfected with either anti-miR181a, which knocks down endogenous miR181a, or a non-targeting miRNA and cultured with streptomycin to eliminate all hair cells from the epithelium. Labeling with BrdU was used to quantify proliferation. Explants exposed to streptomycin and transfected with anti-miR181a had significantly fewer BrdU positive cells than basilar papillae treated with streptomycin and transfected with a non-targeting miRNA. Activated caspase-3 and myosin VI labeling were used to show that the pattern of hair cell death and loss, respectively, were not affected by anti-miR181a transfection. MiR181a downregulation therefore seems to dimish the proliferative component of hair cell regeneration rather than prevent hair cell death following ototoxic injury.
