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

Cadherin 11 (Cdh11), a member of the cadherin adhesion molecule family, is expressed in various regions of the brain as well as the head and ear. To gain further insights into the roles of Cdh11 in the development of the ear, we performed behavioral tests using Cdh11 knockout (KO) mice. KO mice showed reduced acoustic startle responses and increased thresholds for auditory brainstem responses, indicating moderate hearing loss. The auditory bulla volume and ratio of air-filled to non-air-filled space in the middle ear cavity were reduced in KO mice, potentially causing conductive hearing loss. Furthermore, residual mesenchymal and inflammatory cells were observed in the middle ear cavity of KO mice. Cdh11 was expressed in developing mesenchymal cells just before the start of cavitation, indicating that Cdh11 may be directly involved in middle ear cavitation. Since the auditory bulla is derived from the neural crest, the regulation of neural crest-derived cells by Cdh11 may be responsible for structural development. This mutant mouse may be a promising animal model for elucidating the causes of conductive hearing loss and otitis media.
