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.

Abstract

The PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is involved in mediating survival of sensory hair cells. Here, we investigated the involvement of PI3K/Akt in noise-induced hearing loss in both temporary and permanent threshold shift noise models. The PI3K regulatory subunit p85α and phosphorylation of Akt on serine 473 (p-Akt S473) are downregulated in sensory hair cells, including both outer and inner hair cells, and supporting cells of the mouse organ of Corti 1 h after exposure to permanent-threshold-shift-inducing noise (PTS noise), but not with temporary-threshold-shift-inducing noise (TTS noise). In contrast, the PI3K catalytic subunit p110α and phosphorylation of Akt on threonine 308 (p-Akt T308) do not change with PTS or TTS noise. Additionally, mice pretreated with p85α small interfering RNA (siRNA) have decreased expression of p-Akt1 (S473) in their sensory hair cells and increased sensitivity to TTS noise-induced hearing loss. Finally, Akt1-knockout mice also have enhanced sensitivity to TTS noise-induced hearing loss. In conclusion, this study suggests that endogenous PI3K/Akt signaling is an intrinsic protective mechanism of the inner ear. Blockade of PI3K/Akt signaling pathways increases sensitivity to TTS noise-induced hearing loss.
