Early life visceral stress induces auditory brainstem sensitization and cochlear proteomic alterations in a rat model of irritable bowel syndrome.

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
Early life stress is increasingly recognized as a critical factor shaping neural development and long-term sensory processing. It is also a well-established driver of visceral dysfunction and central to the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). While gastrointestinal and psychological consequences are well documented, its impact on auditory function remains unclear. Here, we employed neonatal colorectal distension in Sprague-Dawley rats to model early life visceral stress and IBS. At 7 weeks, rats exhibited pronounced visceral and somatic hypersensitivity, validated by abdominal withdrawal reflex scores and von Frey testing. Auditory brainstem responses (ABR) revealed markedly shortened wave latencies and increased amplitudes across click and tone stimuli despite normal thresholds, indicating auditory pathway hyperexcitability (
