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 G protein-coupled receptor associated sorting protein 2 (GPRASP2) gene mutation is one of only three deafness genes identified to be implicated in X-linked recessive syndromic hearing loss (SHL) to date. However, the function of GPRASP2 in the auditory system has not yet been fully understood. In this study, we generated Gprasp2-deficient mice and found that they exhibited a hearing loss phenotype and depression-like behaviors. In addition, we observed a disordered arrangement of cochlear hair cells in Gprasp2-deficient mice. GPRASP2 binds to NCAM1. Gprasp2 deficiency decreased NCAM1 level and further enhanced ferritinophagy in cochlear hair cells. This study could improve our understanding of the role of GPRASP2 deficiency in auditory cells, which contributes to the pathophysiology of X-linked SHL.
