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

Hearing loss is the most common sensory disorder in human beings. Cochlear sensory cells are the basis of hearing. Cochlear sensory cells suffer from various acute or chronic injuries, such as excessive sound stimulation, ototoxic drugs, and age-related degeneration. In response to these stresses, the cochlea develops an immune response. In recent years, studies have shown that the immune response of the inner ear has been regarded as one of the important pathological mechanisms of inner ear injury. Therapeutic interventions for inflammatory responses can effectively alleviate different types of inner ear injury. As the main immune cells in the inner ear, macrophages are involved in the process of inner ear injury caused by various exogenous factors. However, its specific role in the immune response of the inner ear is still unclear. This review focuses on discusses the dynamic changes of macrophages during different types of inner ear injury, and clarifies the potential role of macrophage-related immune response in inner ear injury.
