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

Noise-induced synaptopathy and relevant hidden hearing loss (NIS and NIHHL) have been a hot topic in hearing research for almost 15 years. The progress is summarized in this review to address the reversibility of the synaptic damage after the initial loss, and the role of functional deficit in the repaired synapses as the reason for hearing impairment in addition to the deafferentiation caused by the synaptic loss, per se. The evidence supporting the synaptic repair is summarized. It is pointed out that coding-in-noise deficit (CIND) may not be the major problem of NIS and NIHHL, since solid evidence supporting the existence of this deficit is not available even in animal studies, as well as in in human reports. Rather, temporal processing deficits are clearly demonstrated in subjects with NIS and potentially NIHHL. The idea of CIND as the major concern in NIHHL is proposed based upon the functional categorization of the auditory nerve (ANF) by spontaneous rate and the biased loss of the ribbon synapses innervation the low-SR ANF. The limitation of this hypothesis is discussed in detail. The review also addresses the difficulty of translating animal data to humans and the need for new research in the future.
