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

The stria vascularis (SV) in the cochlea generates and maintains the endocochlear potential, thereby playing a pivotal role in normal hearing. Knowing transcriptional profiles and gene regulatory networks of SV cell types establishes a basis for studying the mechanism underlying SV-related hearing loss. While we have previously characterized the expression profiles of major SV cell types in the adult mouse, transcriptional profiles of rare SV cell types remained elusive due to the limitation of cell capture in single-cell RNA-Seq. The role of these rare cell types in the homeostatic function of the adult SV remain largely undefined. In this study, we performed single-nucleus RNA-Seq on the adult mouse SV in conjunction with sample preservation treatments during the isolation steps. We distinguish rare SV cell types, including spindle cells and root cells, from other cell types, and characterize their transcriptional profiles. Furthermore, we also identify and validate novel specific markers for these rare SV cell types. Finally, we identify homeostatic gene regulatory networks within spindle and root cells, establishing a basis for understanding the functional roles of these cells in hearing. These novel findings will provide new insights for future work in SV-related hearing loss and hearing fluctuation.
