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

Noise exposure is one of the most common causes of sensorineural hearing loss. Although many studies considered inflammation to be a major contributor to noise-induced hearing loss, the process of cochlear inflammation is still unclear. Studies have found that activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway results in the accumulation of macrophages in the inner ear plays an important role in hair cell damage. In this study, tandem mass tag (TMT) technique was used to analyze the changes in basilar membrane proteome expression before and after acoustic injury. After noise exposure, the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) metabolism level was decreased, and the NF-κB signaling pathway was activated. The expression of CD38, the main NAD hydrolase in mammals, may directly lead to inflammation onset. Then, anakinra, an IL-1 receptor blocker, and apigenin, a CD38 inhibitor, were administered to animals to protect against noise-induced hearing loss. Our results showed that anakinra had little influence on the hearing threshold shift, while apigenin significantly reduce the threshold shift of hearing by inhibiting the expression of NF-κB and CD38 can be a promising target for protecting against noise-induced hearing loss.
