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

Background: Our study aimed to determine the pathological mechanism of presbycusis at the molecular level, and determine potential biomarkers for the same. Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for presbycusis were obtained by analyzing the microarray data sets (GSE6045 and GSE49543) downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Gene ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG) pathway, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analyses, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) were performed to analyze the biological functions, molecular pathways, autophagy-related molecular markers, and the immune microenvironment of the DEGs in presbycusis. Then the prognostic roles of the hub genes were analyzed and verified Results: In the old mild hearing loss group (27.7 ± 3.4 months old), 27 down-regulated and 99 up-regulated genes were significantly differentially expressed compared with those in the young control group (3.5 ± 0.4 months old). In the old severe hearing loss group (30.6 ± 1.9 months old), 131 down-regulated and 89 up-regulated genes were significantly differentially expressed compared with those in the young control group. The results of the GO, GSEA, KEGG pathway, and immune infiltration analyses showed that the enrichment terms were mainly focused on immune response in mild presbycusis, and immune response and cell death in severe presbycusis. In the PPI network, autophagy-related genes Conclusion: Our study is the first to report the difference in autophagy factors and immune microenvironment among different degrees of hearing loss in presbycusis. Furthermore, we provide the prognostic gene expression signature for age-related hearing loss, intending to develop preventative therapies.
