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

Hair bundles, the mechanically sensitive organelles of hair cells in the auditory and vestibular systems, are elastic structures that are deflected by sound or acceleration. To examine rapid mechanical events associated with mechanoelectrical transduction, we stimulated individual hair bundles with flexible glass fibers and measured their responses with a temporal resolution of 400 microsec. When a hair bundle from the bullfrog's sacculus was abruptly deflected in the positive direction, the bundle's motion in the direction of stimulation was interrupted within the initial few milliseconds by an active movement, or twitch. This response was biphasic, with an initial component in the direction of the stimulus and a second component in the opposite direction. The amplitude and duration of the twitch depended on the bundle's initial position and the size and rise time of the stimulus; the twitch was largest over the range of bundle deflections in which transduction was most sensitive. Under displacement clamp conditions, in which a hair bundle's position was changed and then held constant with negative feedback, the twitch manifested itself as a biphasic force exerted by the bundle. Some hair bundles produced twitches in response to negatively directed stimuli, exhibited stimulus-evoked damped oscillations, or twitched spontaneously. The hair bundle's ability to perform work against an external load and to oscillate in response to stimulation indicates that the bundle could supply feedback for mechanical amplification in vertebrate auditory organs.
