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

Objective: This research investigated the possible shielding properties of BB (Berberrubine) against the harmful auditory effects of cisplatin, preliminarily delving into the underlying mechanisms responsible for this protection. Methods: HEI-OC1 cell viability was determined using a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8). The impact of BB on cochlear hair cells was studied through Results: BB significantly improved cell survival rates under cisplatin treatment, reduced levels of apoptotic markers (TUNEL, Cleaved Caspase-3, Annexin V-PI), decreased ROS and MitoSOX levels, and improved JC-1 signals in both HEI-OC1 cells and cochlear hair cells in cochlear explants culture. Animal studies demonstrated that treatment with BB enhanced the survival of cochlear hair cells, reduced hearing impairment caused by cisplatin in mice. RNA-seq and qRT-PCR analysis revealed that BB influenced the expression levels of multiple genes ( Conclusion: Our findings suggest that BB protects against cisplatin-induced hearing damage by enhancing folate biosynthesis, decreasing intracellular ROS levels, and inhibiting apoptosis.
