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

Sensorineural hearing loss is driven by disruption of cochlear homeostasis, where dysregulated redox, ionic, and metabolic factors lead to hair cell degeneration and synaptic injury. Current strategies lack the capacity to restore the enzymatic clearance of reactive oxygen species or penetrate the blood-labyrinth barrier. Here, we report a cell-inspired dual-tandem catalytic nanoreactor (HSC@Se) integrating GPx-mimetic diselenide with superoxide dismutase and catalase to reconstruct the detoxification cascade. We show that the albumin scaffold stabilizes the nanoarchitecture and enables active blood-labyrinth barrier penetration of neutrophil-adhesive transport and megalin-mediated uptake, facilitating cochlear delivery to hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons. In noise-induced mouse models, we demonstrate that HSC@Se restores redox equilibrium, suppresses ferroptosis, normalizes iron handling, preserves hair-cell integrity, maintains ribbon synapses, and reduces auditory threshold shifts. We perform transcriptomics to reveal activation of antioxidative and metabolic repair pathways. This work presents cell-inspired nanoreactors that emulate natural antioxidant networks to rebalance cochlear redox homeostasis and drive hearing protection.
