Mast Cells in the Auditory Periphery of Rodents.
Article in Brain sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
Mast cells (MCs) are densely granulated cells of myeloid origin and are a part of immune and neuroimmune systems. MCs have been detected in the endolymphatic sac of the inner ear and are suggested to regulate allergic hydrops. However, their existence in the cochlea has never been documented. In this work, we show that MCs are present in the cochleae of C57BL/6 mice and Wistar rats, where they localize in the modiolus, spiral ligament, and stria vascularis. The identity of MCs was confirmed in cochlear cryosections and flat preparations using avidin and antibodies against c-Kit/CD117, chymase, tryptase, and FcεRIα. The number of MCs decreased significantly during postnatal development, resulting in only a few MCs present in the flat preparation of the cochlea of a rat. In addition, exposure to 40 µM cisplatin for 24 h led to a significant reduction in cochlear MCs. The presence of MCs in the cochlea may shed new light on postnatal maturation of the auditory periphery and possible involvement in the ototoxicity of cisplatin. Presented data extend the current knowledge about the physiology and pathology of the auditory periphery. Future functional studies should expand and translate this new basic knowledge to clinics.
