Comparing the cultivated cochlear cells derived from neonatal and adult mouse.
Article in Journal of translational medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
backgroundPrevious reports showed the presence of limited numbers of stem cells in neonatal murine cochlear sensory epithelia and these cells are progressively lost during the postnatal development. The goal of this study was to investigate whether stem cells can be derived from mature mouse cochleae under suspension culture conditions, and to analyze the expression of the stem cell and inner ear progenitor cell markers in cells dissociated from neonatal and adult mouse organs of Corti.
methodsOrgans of Corti were dissected from postnatal day 1 (P1) or postnatal day 60 (P60) mouse. The dissociated cells were cultivated under suspension cultures conditions. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunocytochemistry were conducted for phenotype characterization.
resultsThe number of cochlear stem cells (otospheres) yielded from P1 organ of Corti was significantly higher than that of the P60 organ of Corti. RT-PCR analyses showed that the stem markers, such as nanog, sox2, klf4, and nestin can be found to be distributed similarly in the cells derived from both of organisms, but the inner ear developmental/progenitor cell markers showed lower expression in P60 organ of Corti compared to P1. Immunocytochemistry results also revealed the evidence that P60 otospheres lacking of differentiation potential in vitro, which opposed to the strong differentiation potential of otospheres at P1 stage.
conclusionsOur findings suggest that the loss of numbers and features of stem cells in the adult organ of Corti is associated with the substantial down-regulation of inner ear progenitor key-markers during maturation of the cells in organ of Corti.
