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

unlabelledThe inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) are multifactorial diseases. Clinical reports indicate that emotional stress may contribute to the onset, progression and remission of these diseases. Using an experimental animal model of ulcerative colitis, the effect of stress on the development of and recovery from symptoms was studied prospectively. Singly housed rats received 4 percent dextran sulphate sodium orally until fecal blood was detected, indicating the presence of colonic erosions. Tap water was then administered until there were no signs of fecal blood. Two hours of restraint stress were administered daily over four successive days, either prior to or after the induction of colitis. Latencies in days to symptom development and recovery were compared to an unstressed group. Daily measures of fluid-intake, body-weight, and hemoglobulin in feces were made.

resultsRats exposed to restraint stress procedures prior to induction of colitis had shorter latencies to development of symptoms. There was no significant difference in latency to recovery. The amount of fluid-intake did not significantly differ between groups, nor did the groups differ in body-weight.

conclusionThere is an effect of stress on the latency to develop colitis induced by dextran sulphate sodium. This preliminary study suggests that the impact of stress may be one factor underlying the emergence of ulcerative colitis.
