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

Gastric microcirculatory disturbances are involved in the ethanol-induced gastric mucosal damage. In this study in humans we evaluated the time course of plasma and gastric mucosal endothelin-1 (ET-1) concentrations after intragastric ethanol administration; furthermore we determined the correlation among changes in gastric tissue endothelin-1 and microscopic and gross gastric hemorrhagic damage. ET-1 concentrations in plasma and gastric mucosa were measured by radioimmunoassay. The endoscopic appearance of the gastric mucosa was evaluated and scored on a scale of 0-5, and gastric biopsies for histological evaluation were obtained from the antral and the corpus mucosa just before and 30 min after 40% ethanol administration in seven healthy volunteers. Plasma ET-1 concentration increased as soon as 20 min after ethanol administration, reached a significant peak at 30 min (P < 0.01), and returned to near basal level within 120 min. Gastric mucosal ET-1 concentration significantly increased 30 min after ethanol administration in both the body (P < 0.05) and the antrum (P < 0.05) of the stomach; however the ET-1 increase was significantly higher in the body. Moreover, data obtained 30 min after ethanol administration showed a significant correlation between gastric mucosal ET-1 levels and gross hemorrhagic damage (r = 0.84). A significant correlation was also observed between antral gastric mucosal ET-1 and microscopic lesions (r = 0.70). We conclude that 40% ethanol, given orally, stimulates the release of gastric mucosal endothelin-1 and causes a rapid and time-dependent increase of ET-1 plasma level in humans. The increased plasma and gastric tissue endothelin-1 concentration may play a role in ethanol-induced gastric hemorrhagic injury in humans.
