ATP-gated P2x7 receptor is a major channel type at type II auditory nerves and required for hearing sensitivity efferent controlling and noise protection.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 sensitivity and noise protection are mediated and determined by negative feedback of the cochlear efferent system. Type II auditory nerves (ANs) innervate outer hair cells (OHCs) in the cochlea and provide an input to this efferent control. However, little is known about underlying channel information. Here, we report that ATP-gated P2x7 receptor had a predominant expression at type II ANs and the synaptic areas under inner hair cells and OHCs with lateral and medial olivocochlear efferent nerves. Knockout (KO) of P2x7 increased hearing sensitivity with enhanced acoustic startle response (ASR), auditory brainstem response (ABR), and cochlear microphonics (CM) by increasing OHC electromotility, an active cochlear amplifier in mammals. P2x7 KO also increased susceptibility to noise. Middle level noise exposure could impair active cochlear mechanics resulting in permanent hearing loss in P2x7 KO mice. These data demonstrate that P2x7 receptors have a critical role in type II AN function and the cochlear efferent system to control hearing sensitivity; deficiency of P2x7 receptors can impair the cochlear efferent suppression leading to hearing oversensitivity and susceptibility to noise.
