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

An auditory model has been developed with a time-varying, gain-control signal based on the physiology of the efferent system and subcortical neural pathways. The medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent stage of the model receives excitatory projections from fluctuation-sensitive model neurons of the inferior colliculus (IC) and wide-dynamic-range model neurons of the cochlear nucleus. The response of the model MOC stage dynamically controls cochlear gain via simulated outer hair cells. In response to amplitude-modulated (AM) noise, firing rates of most IC neurons with band-enhanced modulation transfer functions in awake rabbits increase over a time course consistent with the dynamics of the MOC efferent feedback. These changes in the rates of IC neurons in awake rabbits were employed to adjust the parameters of the efferent stage of the proposed model. Responses of the proposed model to AM noise were able to simulate the increasing IC rate over time, whereas the model without the efferent system did not show this trend. The proposed model with efferent gain control provides a powerful tool for testing hypotheses, shedding insight on mechanisms in hearing, specifically those involving the efferent system.
