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

Aminoglycosides (AGs) are widely used to treat severe infections. However, systemically administered AGs preferentially kill cochlear hair cells, resulting in irreversible hearing loss. Recently, we found that AGs bind to RIPOR2 and trigger its rapid translocation in cochlear hair cells. Reducing RIPOR2 expression entirely prevents AG-induced hair cell death and subsequent hearing loss in mice. Next using yeast two-hybrid screening, we found that RIPOR2 interacts with GABARAP, a key macroautophagy/autophagy pathway protein. Following AG treatment, RIPOR2 colocalizes with GABARAP and regulates the activation of autophagy. Remarkably, reducing the expression of GABARAP, or another key autophagy protein MAP1LC3B/LC3B, entirely prevents AG-induced hair cell death and subsequent hearing loss in mice. Furthermore, we found that AGs activate the autophagy pathway specific to mitochondria. Reducing the expression of PINK1 or PRKN/parkin, two key mitophagy proteins, protects hair cells against AG toxicity. Thus, our findings demonstrated that RIPOR2-mediated autophagic dysfunction is essential for AG-induced hearing loss and provided potential therapeutic strategies for preventing AG toxicity.
