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 spiral ganglion of the cochlea is essential for hearing and contains primary bipolar neurons that relay action potentials generated by mechanosensory hair cells. Injury to spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) causes permanent hearing loss because these cells have limited regenerative capacity. Establishment of human cell-derived inner ear tissue in vitro could facilitate the development of treatments for hearing loss. Here, we report a stepwise protocol for differentiating human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into otic organoids that contain SGN-like cells and demonstrate that otic organoids have potential for use as an experimental model of drug-induced neuropathy. Otic progenitor cells (OPCs) were created by 2D culture of hiPSCs for 9 days. Otic spheroids were formed after 2D culture of OPCs for 2 days in a hypoxic environment. Otic organoids were generated by 3D culture of otic spheroids under hypoxic conditions for 5 days and normoxic conditions for a further 30 days or more. The protein expression profile, morphological characteristics, and electrophysiological properties of SGN-like cells in otic organoids were similar to those of primary SGNs. Live-cell imaging of AAV-syn-EGFP-labeled neurons demonstrated temporal changes in cell morphology and revealed the toxic effects of ouabain (which causes SGN-specific damage in animal experiments) and cisplatin (a chemotherapeutic drug with ototoxic adverse effects). Furthermore, a cyclin-dependent kinase-2 inhibitor suppressed the toxic actions of cisplatin on SGN-like cells in otic organoids. The otic organoid described here is a candidate novel drug screening system and could be used to identify drugs for the prevention of cisplatin-induced neuropathy.
