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

Increasing numbers of cochlear implant patients have residual hearing. Despite surgical and pharmacological efforts to preserve residual hearing, a significant number of these patients suffer a late, unexplained loss of residual hearing. Surgical trauma can be excluded as the cause. To investigate this phenomenon and because cells in their native environment react differently to stimuli (such as electrical current) than isolated cells, whole-organ explants from cochleae may be a better model. For early detection of synaptic changes in the organ of Corti, a high-resolution microscopic technique such as stimulated emission depletion (StED) can be used. The aim of this study was establishment of a qualitative and quantitative technique to determinate changes in the organ of Corti and its synapses after electrical stimulation. Explanted organs of Corti from postnatal rats (P2-4) were cultured on a coverslip for 24 h and subsequently exposed to biphasic pulsed electrical stimulation (amplitude 0.44-2.0 mA, pulse width 400 μs, interpulse delay 120 μs, repetition 1 kHz) for another 24 h. For visualization, the cytoskeleton and the ribbon synapses were stained immunocytochemically. For an early detectable response to electrical stimulation, the number of synapses was quantified. Organs of Corti without electrical stimulation served as a reference. Initial research has shown that electrical stimulation can cause changes in ribbon synapses and that StED can detect these alterations. The herein established model could be of great importance for identification of molecular changes in the organ of Corti in response to electrical or other stimuli.
