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

Local intratympanic drug delivery to the inner ear possesses significant otological clinical promise as cisplatin-induced hearing loss (CIHL) therapy, inducing significantly less side effects than systemic drug delivery. However, the multiple detoured barriers, round window membrane (RWM) and poorly controlled drug release hinder successful non-invasive drug delivery through intratympanic administration (IT). Here, a novel near-infrared (NIR) responsive nanocomposite functionalized with saponin, denoted gold nanorod@dexamethasone-mesoporous silica-saponin (AuNR@DEX-MS-saponin, NPs/DEX), is developed to enhance RWM permeation and to control the drug release spatiotemporally. First, the physiochemical properties and release profile of the synthesized nanocomposites are assessed, after which the biocompatibility of the nanocomposites and oto-protection against CIHL are shown in vitro and in vivo. The findings demonstrated that DEX is delivered to the inner ear with high efficiency through IT, due to the permeation enhancement effect of the nanocomposite. Moreover, the nanocomposite with low dose of DEX is highly effective in recovering CIHL, attenuating hair cell loss, and alleviating synaptic ribbon damage. These findings provide insight into NIR-responsive local delivery for inner ear illnesses.
