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

The normal structure and function of inner-ear blood vessels, including the microvascular network of the stria vascularis (SV) within the blood-labyrinth barrier (BLB), are essential for auditory function. Despite this, the genetic and molecular characteristics of cochlear vasculature are largely unexplored. In this study, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to profile endothelial cells (ECs) and pericytes (PCs) from the adult mouse cochlea. We found a distinct genetic profile and a higher angiogenic potential than observed in the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Two subclasses of PCs were identified. Type 1 PCs, with high levels of α-smooth muscle actin (
