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

We have made several improvements in the method of fixation of the inner ear and the enzyme-histo-chemical technique for carbonic anhydrase (CA) detection. The results confirmed that CA is localized in the hair cells of the organ of Corti, Deiters' cells or nerve endings, inner pillar cells, Boettcher's cells, stria vascularis, spiral ligament, spiral limbus, and spiral ganglion cells. These results generally agree with previous histochemical observations but showed some differences. Our method preserved tissue morphology and showed more detailed localization of CA activity in the inner ear. In particular, the marginal zone of stria vascularis and the epithelial cells of spiral prominence, facing the endolymph, showed no CA activity, while the suprastrial region of the spiral ligament and the supralimbal region of the spiral limbus, juxtaposed to the perilymph, showed CA activity. In outer hair cells, the cuticular plate, which faces the endolymph showed CA activity, but the lateral membrane, which faces the perilymph showed no CA activity. In contrast, the inner hair cell cytoplasm showed diffuse CA activity. These results will be useful in considering ion exchange between endolymph and its adjacent cells, and between perilymph and its adjacent structures.
