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 inner ear is one of the most complex structures in the mammalian body. Embedded within it are the hearing and balance sensory organs that contain arrays of hair cells that serve as sensors of sound and acceleration. Within the sensory organs, these hair cells are prototypically arranged in regular mosaic patterns. The development of such complex, yet precise, patterns require the coordination of differentiation, growth, and morphogenesis, both at the tissue and cellular scales. In recent years, there is accumulating evidence that mechanical forces at the tissue, the cellular, and the subcellular scales coordinate the development and organization of this remarkable organ. Here, we review recent works that reveal how such mechanical forces shape the inner ear, control its size, and establish regular cellular patterns. The insights learned from studying how mechanical forces drive the inner ear development are relevant for many other developmental systems in which precise cellular patterns are essential for their function.
