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 the mature mammalian auditory system, inner hair cells are responsible for converting sound-evoked vibrations into graded electrical responses, resulting in release of neurotransmitter and neuronal transmission via the VIIIth cranial nerve to auditory centres in the central nervous system. Before the cochlea can reliably respond to sound, inner hair cells are not merely immature quiescent pre-hearing cells, but instead are capable of generating 'spontaneous' calcium-based action potentials. The resulting calcium signal promotes transmitter release that drives action potential firing in developing spiral ganglion neurones. These early signalling events that occur before sound-evoked activity are thought to be important in guiding and refining the initial phases of development of the auditory circuits. This review will summarise our current knowledge of the mechanisms that underlie spontaneous action potentials in developing inner hair cells and how these events are triggered and regulated.
