The role of Rho GTPase family in cochlear hair cells and hearing.
Review in Neural regeneration research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Rho GTPases are essential regulators of the actin cytoskeleton. They are involved in various physiological and biochemical processes such as the regulation of cytoskeleton dynamics, development, proliferation, survival, and regeneration. During the development of cochlear hair cells, Rho GTPases are activated by various extracellular signals through membrane receptors to further stimulate multiple downstream effectors. Specifically, RhoA, Cdc42, and Rac1, members of the classical subfamily of the Rho GTPase family, regulate the development and maintenance of cilia by inducing the polymerization of actin monomers and stabilizing actin filaments. In addition, they also regulate the normal morphology orientation of ciliary bundles in auditory hair cells, which is an important element of cell polarity regulation. Moreover, the actin-related pathways mediated by RhoA, Cdc42, and Rac1 also play a role in the motility of outer hair cells, indicating that the function of Rho GTPases is crucial in the highly polar auditory sensory system. In this review, we focus on the expression of RhoA, Cdc42, and Rac1 in cochlear hair cells and how these small molecules participate in ciliary bundle morphogenesis and cochlear hair cell movement. We also discuss the progress of current research investigating the use of these small molecules as drug targets for deafness treatment.
