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

Outer hair cells (OHCs) in the cochlea are crucial for the remarkable hearing sensitivity and frequency tuning. To understand OHC physiology and pathology, it is imperative to use mouse genetic tools to manipulate gene expression specifically in OHCs. Here, we generated two prestin knockin mouse lines: (1) the prestin-CreERT2 line, with an internal ribosome entry site-CreERT2-FRT-Neo-FRT cassette inserted into the prestin locus after the stop codon, and (2) the prestin-CreERT2-NN line, with the FRT-Neo-FRT removed subsequently. We characterized the inducible Cre activity of both lines by crossing them with the reporter lines CAG-eGFP and Ai6. Cre activity was induced with tamoxifen at various postnatal ages and only detected in OHCs, resembling the endogenous prestin expression pattern. Moreover, prestin-CreERT2+/-(heterozygotes) and +/+(homozygotes) as well as prestin-CreERT2-NN+/-mice displayed normal hearing. These two prestin-CreERT2 mouse lines are therefore useful tools to analyze gene function in OHCs in vivo.
