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

Tight regulation of calcium (Ca2+) concentrations in the stereocilia bundles of auditory hair cells of the inner ear is critical to normal auditory transduction. The plasma membrane Ca2+ ATPase 2 (PMCA2), encoded by the Atp2b2 gene, is the primary mechanism for clearance of Ca2+ from auditory stereocilia, keeping intracellular levels low, and also contributes to maintaining adequate levels of extracellular Ca2+ in the endolymph. This study characterizes a novel null Atp2b2 allele, dfw(i5), by examining cochlear anatomy, vestibular function and auditory physiology in mutant mice. Loss of auditory function in PMCA2 mutants can be attributed to dysregulation of intracellular Ca2+ inside the stereocilia bundles. However, extracellular Ca2+ ions surrounding the stereocilia are also required for rigidity of cadherin 23, a component of the stereocilia tip-link encoded by the Cdh23 gene. This study further resolves the interaction between Atp2b2 and Cdh23 in a gene dosage and frequency-dependent manner, and finds that low frequencies are significantly affected by the interaction. In +/dfw(i5) mice, one mutant copy of Cdh23 is sufficient to cause broad frequency hearing impairment. Additionally, we report another modifying interaction with Atp2b2 on auditory sensitivity, possibly caused by an unidentified hearing loss gene in mice.
