AIF knockdown induce apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction in cochlear spiral ganglion neurons in vitro.
Article in Molecular medicine reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 underlying mechanism involved in auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) remains largely unclear. It has been previously reported that mutations in the apoptosis‑inducing factor (AIF) gene are associated with auditory neuropathy and delayed peripheral neuropathy, which can eventually cause ANSD. In the present study, the regulatory effects of AIF knockdown on the cellular functions of spiral ganglion neurons (SNGs) and the molecular mechanism(s) of AIF knockdown in inducing cell apoptosis in SGNs were further investigated. The results showed that the AIF knockdown via siRNA transfection resulted in high levels of oxidative stress, and impaired mitochondrial respiration activity and membrane potential in SGNs. Western blotting further proved that the knockdown of AIF can decrease the content of anti‑apoptotic and anti‑oxidative proteins, as well as mitochondrial respiratory chain Complex I proteins. The present experimental data suggested that the abnormal expression of AIF may affect SGNs cellular function, and may contribute to the progress of ANSD.
