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

Regeneration of mature mammalian inner ear hair cells remains to be a challenge. This study aims to evaluate the ability of DNA methyltransferase (Dnmt) inhibitor 5-azacytidine (5-aza) to generate outer hair cells (OHCs) in a chemically-deafened adult mouse model. 5-aza was administrated into the mouse inner ear via the round window. Immunofluorescence was used to examine the expression of hair cell specific proteins following 5-aza treatment. The results showed that in the chemically-deafened mouse cochlea, new OHCs were found post 5-aza treatment, whereas OHCs were completely lost in saline-treated mice. New hair cells expressed multiple hair cell markers included Myosin VIIa, Pou4f3 and Myosin VI. Newly-generated hair cells presented in three cochlear turns and were able to survive for at least six weeks. The effects of new hair cells generation by 5-aza were concentration dependent. Quantitative PCR study indicates that 5-aza may function through Dnmt1 inhibition. The results of this report suggest that the Dnmt inhibitor 5-aza may promote hair cell regeneration in a chemically-deafened mouse model.
