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

The cochlea is a spiral-shaped, liquid-filled organ in the inner ear that converts sound with high frequency selectivity over a wide pressure range to neurological signals that are eventually interpreted by the brain. The cochlear partition, consisting of the organ of Corti supported below by the basilar membrane and attached above to the tectorial membrane, plays a major role in the frequency analysis. In early fluid-structure interaction models of the cochlea, the mechanics of the cochlear partition were approximated by a series of single-degree-of-freedom systems representing the distributed stiffness and mass of the basilar membrane. Recent experiments suggest that the mechanical properties of the tectorial membrane may also be important for the cochlea frequency response and that separate waves may propagate along the basilar and tectorial membranes. Therefore, a two-dimensional two-compartment finite difference model of the cochlea was developed to investigate the independent coupling of the basilar and tectorial membranes to the surrounding liquid. Responses are presented for models using two- or three-degree-of-freedom stiffness, damping, and mass parameters derived from a physiologically based finite element model of the cochlear partition. Effects of changes in membrane and organ of Corti stiffnesses on the individual membrane responses are investigated.
