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

The auditory circuit primarily consists of peripheral auditory organs and auditory neural pathways. Hearing loss (HL), as reported by the World Health Organization, affects more than one in eight people worldwide, often leading to severe dysfunction that detrimentally impacts patients' quality of life. Therefore, auditory reconstruction has emerged as a persistent research hotspot and challenge within the biomedical field. Traditional methods for auditory reconstruction, such as drug therapy, hearing aids, cochlear implants (CIs), and so on. To a certain extent, it can help patients with HL improve their hearing status. However, they possess inherent advantages and limitations. Recent advancements in biomaterials, gene editing, stem cells, organoids, and other technologies have ushered in new prospects for the treatment of hearing impairment. This review focuses on the potential of innovative technologies in biomaterials, stem cells, and gene editing in hearing recovery. It reviews the current research status of inner ear hair cell (HC) regeneration, spiral ganglion neuron (SGN) regeneration, and inner ear organoid construction in the auditory loop. Furthermore, the review discusses the challenges associated with these approaches and explores potential future directions, aiming to furnish a comprehensive reference for both research and clinical applications in the domain of peripheral auditory restoration.
