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

objectiveOur previous studies demonstrated that casein kinase 1α1 (CSNK1A1) was significantly upregulated in the endolymphatic sac of patients with Meniere's disease (MD). However, its specific role in the development of MD remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the effects of CSNK1A1 inhibition on alleviating hydrops, inflammation, and preserving audiovestibular function in a mouse model of endolymphatic hydrops (EH). STUDY

designExperimental animal study.

settingTranslational research laboratory.

methodsAn EH model was induced in mice by postauricular lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection. CSNK1A1 localization in hair cells was visualized via immunofluorescence. To functionally interrogate CSNK1A1, mice received intraperitoneal injections of the CSNK1A1 inhibitor CSNK1-IN-2. Evaluations encompassed three key parameters: cochlear morphology (EH severity), auditory brainstem response (ABR) and vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP, audiovestibular function), and immunofluorescence for CD45 and F4/80 (macrophage infiltration).

resultsIn LPS-induced EH mice, CSNK1A1 expression was significantly upregulated in cochlear and vestibular hair cells. Pharmacological inhibition of CSNK1A1 markedly improved audiovestibular function, reducing ABR thresholds (all frequencies, P < .01) and attenuating VEMP latency prolongations (P < .0001), CSNK1A1 inhibition also reduced EH, decreasing the membrane length increase rate (P < .01), and decreased the infiltration of CD45

conclusionCSNK1A1 plays a role in attenuating LPS-induced inner ear injury, suggesting that its inhibition may represent a potential strategy for attenuating inflammation-associated cochleovestibular damage.
