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

Glutamate plays a role in hair cell afferent transmission, but the receptors that mediate neurotransmission between outer hair cells (OHCs) and type II ganglion neurons are not well defined. A previous study using in situ hybridization showed that several kainate-type glutamate receptor (KAR) subunits are expressed in cochlear ganglion neurons. To determine whether KARs are expressed in hair cell synapses, we performed X-gal staining on mice expressing lacZ driven by the GluK5 promoter, and immunolabeling of glutamate receptors in whole-mount mammalian cochleae. X-gal staining revealed GluK5 expression in both type I and type II ganglion neurons and OHCs in adults. OHCs showed X-gal reactivity throughout maturation from postnatal day 4 (P4) to 1.5 months. Immunoreactivity for GluK5 in IHC afferent synapses appeared to be postsynaptic, similar to GluA2 (GluR2; AMPA-type glutamate receptor (AMPAR) subunit), while GluK2 may be on both sides of the synapses. In OHC afferent synapses, immunoreactivity for GluK2 and GluK5 was found, although GluK2 was only in those synapses bearing ribbons. GluA2 was not detected in adult OHC afferent synapses. Interestingly, GluK1, GluK2 and GluK5 were also detected in OHC efferent synapses, forming several active zones in each synaptic area. At P8, GluA2 and all KAR subunits except GluK4 were detected in OHC afferent synapses in the apical turn, and GluA2, GluK1, GluK3 decreased dramatically in the basal turn. These results indicate that AMPARs and KARs (GluK2/GluK5) are localized to IHC afferent synapses, while only KARs (GluK2/GluK5) are localized to OHC afferent synapses in adults. Glutamate spillover near OHCs may act on KARs in OHC efferent terminals to modulate transmission of acoustic information and OHC electromotility.
