Effects of bioactive agents on biliary motor function.
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Our understanding of biliary motility under normal and pathophysiologic conditions is still incomplete, but there have been recent advances. Of particular interest are the mechanisms involved in gallbladder filling and emptying, with a focus on understanding the processes underlying impaired gallbladder emptying leading to gallbladder dyskinesia and the formation of gallstones or cholecystitis. The sphincter of Oddi (SO) is a complex neuromuscular structure. Recent studies have attempted to unravel the specific neural or hormonal mechanisms operating under normal physiologic conditions and those that may lead to SO dysfunction. Furthermore, new research fronts are emerging, including the role of leptin in obese patients with impaired biliary motility and the action of electroacupuncture for possible treatment of SO dysfunction. This review illustrates the broad front of current research regarding the effects of bioactive agents on biliary motility, including enteric hormones, nitric oxide, opioids, inflammatory mediators, leptin, protease inhibitors, neurotransmitters, and electroacupuncture.
