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 aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channel has been proposed to play a role in gastric acid secretion. Immunocytochemistry using anti-AQP4 antibodies showed strong AQP4 protein expression at the basolateral membrane of gastric parietal cells in wild-type (+/+) mice. AQP4 involvement in gastric acid secretion was studied using transgenic null (-/-) mice deficient in AQP4 protein. -/- Mice had grossly normal growth and appearance and showed no differences in gastric morphology by light microscopy. Gastric acid secretion was measured in anesthetized mice in which the stomach was luminally perfused (0. 3 ml/min) with 0.9% NaCl containing [(14)C]polyethylene glycol ([(14)C]PEG) as a volume marker. Collected effluent was assayed for titratable acid content and [(14)C]PEG radioactivity. After 45-min baseline perfusion, acid secretion was stimulated by pentagastrin (200 microg. kg(-1). h(-1) iv) for 1 h or histamine (0.23 mg/kg iv) + intraluminal carbachol (20 mg/l). Baseline gastric acid secretion (means +/- SE, n = 25) was 0.06 +/- 0.03 and 0.03 +/- 0.02 microeq/15 min in +/+ and -/- mice, respectively. Pentagastrin-stimulated acid secretion was 0.59 +/- 0.14 and 0.70 +/- 0.15 microeq/15 min in +/+ and -/- mice, respectively. Histamine plus carbachol-stimulated acid secretion was 7.0 +/- 1.9 and 8.0 +/- 1.8 microeq/15 min in +/+ and -/- mice, respectively. In addition, AQP4 deletion did not affect gastric fluid secretion, gastric pH, or fasting serum gastrin concentrations. These results provide direct evidence against a role of AQP4 in gastric acid secretion.
