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

Prestin (SLC26A5)-mediated voltage-driven elongations and contractions of sensory outer hair cells within the organ of Corti are essential for mammalian cochlear amplification. However, whether this electromotile activity directly contributes on a cycle-by-cycle basis is currently controversial. By restoring motor kinetics in a mouse model expressing a slowed prestin missense variant, this study provides experimental evidence acknowledging the importance of fast motor action to mammalian cochlear amplification. Our results also demonstrate that the point mutation in prestin disrupting anion transport in other proteins of the SLC26 family does not alter cochlear function, suggesting that the potential weak anion transport of prestin is not essential in the mammalian cochlea.
