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 represents a highly prevalent and debilitating sensory disorder affecting roughly one in five people worldwide. In a majority of patients with congenital hearing loss, genetic mutations cause the disease. Up until recently, therapeutic options for individuals with hearing loss were limited to hearing aids and different types of auditory implants. However, after numerous years of intensive basic and translational research, gene therapy strategies are now being investigated in clinical trials. First results show significant hearing improvement in treated patients, highlighting gene therapy's role as a promising treatment for certain forms of genetic hearing loss. In this article, we provide an overview of genetic hearing loss and inner ear gene therapy research including relevant strategies that have been established in animal models and will likely be investigated in human patients soon. Furthermore, we summarize and contextualize the novel findings of recently completed and ongoing clinical trials, and discuss future hurdles needed to be overcome to allow for a broad and safe clinical application of inner ear gene therapy.
