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 aim of this study was to investigate whether the central nervous system regulates mucosal cell growth and apoptosis in the rat small intestine. Ornithine decarboxylase is a key enzyme for polyamine synthesis, which plays an important role in intestinal mucosal growth. The increase in ornithine decarboxylase activity in the duodenum just before a dark period was abolished by truncal vagotomy. An infusion of 2-deoxy-D-glucose into the third cerebroventricle activated the enzyme activity in the small intestine. Epithelial homeostasis is balanced by the regulation of cell proliferation and cell death. Intestinal mucosal apoptosis decreased in rats with ventromedial hypothalamus lesions, which induced hyperphagia and obesity. In contrast, sustained anorexia induced by 1-deoxy-D-glucosamine increased intestinal apoptosis. These results indicate that the central nervous system, in addition to local factors, is related to the regulation of mucosal homeostasis in the intestinal mucosa.
