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

Hereditary hearing loss (HL) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder affecting people worldwide. The implementation of advanced sequencing technologies has significantly contributed to the identification of novel genes involved in HL. In this study, probands of two Turkish families with non-syndromic moderate HL were subjected to exome sequencing. The data analysis identified the c.600G > A (p.Thr200Thr) and c.1863dupG (p.His622fs) variants in GPR156, which co-segregated with the phenotype as an autosomal recessive trait in the respective families. The in silico predictions and a minigene assay showed that the c.600G > A variant disrupts mRNA splicing. This gene belongs to the family of G protein-coupled receptors whose function is not well established in the inner ear. GPR156 variants have very recently been reported to cause HL in three families. Our study from a different ethnic background confirms GPR156 as a bona fide gene involved in HL in humans. Further investigation towards the understanding of the role of GPCRs in the inner ear is warranted.
