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

G protein-coupled receptor-associated sorting protein 2 (GPRASP2) has been identified as the causative gene for X-linked recessive syndromic hearing loss (SHL) in our previous study. However, the role of GPRASP2 in auditory function remains unclear. The present study demonstrated that Gprasp2 overexpression in mouse organoids promoted the proliferation of supporting cells (SCs), which was mainly mediated by the Hedgehog signalling pathway. Meanwhile, GPRASP2 promoted hair cell (HC) formation from SCs via β-catenin signalling. In addition, GPRASP2 deficiency resulted in increased lysosomal degradation of SMO protein, leading to decreased expression of β-catenin and the Hedgehog pathway transcription factor GLI1. In neomycin-treated mouse cochlear explant, the smoothened agonist (SAG) recured the HC loss and further facilitated AAV-ie-Gprasp2 to promote the proliferation of SCs and formation of HCs. Our results suggested that GPRASP2 could be a potential candidate for gene therapy in the regeneration of HCs.
