Quantifying calretinin-labeled afferent terminals in vestibular sensory epithelia of young and older gerbils.
Article in Neurobiology of aging, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Vestibular dysfunction becomes increasingly prevalent with aging and it is estimated that more than 80 % of people over 80 years old experience balance problems linked to vestibular dysfunction. Within the peripheral vestibular organs, sensory hair cells transform hair bundle motion into receptor potentials and information is next relayed to the brain by electrical activity in vestibular afferent nerves. There are three types of vestibular afferents: calyx-only afferents innervate one or more type I hair cells; bouton dendrites innervate type II hair cells and dimorphic afferents contact both hair cell types. Calyx-only afferents are found solely in central areas of vestibular neuroepithelia and have distinct physiological characteristics. Previous studies have shown changes in vestibular-mediated responses with aging in addition to age-related degeneration of afferent synapses in rodent inner ear epithelia. However, whether calyx-only afferent synapses are lost with aging in vestibular epithelia remains unresolved. Here we used an antibody to the Ca
