Hyaluronan Synthase 1: A Novel Candidate Gene Associated With Late-Onset Non-syndromic Hereditary Hearing Loss.
Article in Clinical and experimental otorhinolaryngology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesHyaluronan synthase 1 (HAS1) is a membrane-bound protein that is abundant in the epidermis and dermis, and it is important for skin function. However, its association with hearing loss has not yet been studied. Herein, we sought to evaluate the potential contribution of HAS1: c.1082G>A to genetic hearing loss.
methodsWe used whole-exome sequencing to analyze blood DNA samples of six patients of a family with autosomal dominant familial late-onset progressive hearing loss, which was revealed to be related to a variant of the HAS1 gene. Confirmatory Sanger sequencing was performed with samples from 10 members. A missense variant was detected in HAS1 (c.1082 G>A, p.Cys361Tyr). In silico analyses predicted this variant to result in the functional loss of HAS1. Immunostaining was conducted using wild-type mouse samples to verify HAS1 expression.
resultsHas1 was detected in an otocyst at E10.5. In the pup, Has1 expression was localized in the stria vascularis (SV), hair cells, supporting cells of the organ of Corti, and some spiral ganglion neurons. SV marginal cells markedly expressed Has1 in the adult stage. The hearing threshold in the Has1-depleted condition was investigated by accessing the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium's Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) data. ABR of Has1 knock-out mice showed threshold elevations at 6, 12, and 18 kHz in young male adults.
conclusionHAS1 may have a close relationship with auditory function and genetic hearing loss. Further investigation is needed to reveal the precise role of HAS1 in the auditory system. HAS1 is a candidate gene for future hereditary hearing loss genetic testing.
