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

aimsMethionine sulfoxide reductase B3 (MsrB3), which stereospecifically repairs methionine-R-sulfoxide, is an important Msr protein that is associated with auditory function in mammals. MsrB3 deficiency leads to profound congenital hearing loss due to the degeneration of stereociliary bundles and the apoptotic death of cochlear hair cells. In this study, we investigated a fundamental treatment strategy in an MsrB3 deficiency mouse model and confirmed the biological significance of MsrB3 in the inner ear using MsrB3 knockout (MsrB3(-/-)) mice.

resultsWe delivered a recombinant adeno-associated virus encoding the MsrB3 gene directly into the otocyst at embryonic day 12.5 using a transuterine approach. We observed hearing recovery in the treated ears of MsrB3(-/-) mice at postnatal day 28, and we confirmed MsrB3 mRNA and protein expression in cochlear extracts. Additionally, we demonstrated that the morphology of the stereociliary bundles in the rescued ears of MsrB3(-/-) mice was similar to those in MsrB3(+/+) mice. INNOVATION: To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate functional and morphological rescue of the hair cells of the inner ear in the MsrB3 deficiency mouse model of congenital genetic sensorineural hearing loss using an in utero, virus-mediated gene therapy approach.

conclusionOur results provide insight into the role of MsrB3 in hearing function and bring us one step closer to hearing restoration as a fundamental therapy.
