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

An increase in the size and cellularity of duodenal crypts and a decreased incidence of bifurcating crypts is observed in response to very short-term feeding of a riboflavin-deficient diet to weanling rats. A study was conducted to determine whether the absence of riboflavin in the lumen of the small intestine impairs gastrointestinal development. Forty-eight female weanling Wistar rats were allocated to one of two treatment regimens, to receive either a riboflavin-deficient diet and a daily intraperitoneal injection of flavin mononucleotide (luminally deficient group) or a complete diet and a daily intraperitoneal injection of saline (control group). Animals were killed at 93, 141, or 165 hr from feeding. The flavin injection regimen maintained normal systemic riboflavin status in the luminally deficient group. In this group, however, crypt hypertrophy and reduced crypt bifurcation were evident by 141 hr of luminal riboflavin deprivation. The absence of riboflavin in the duodenal lumen impairs normal development, suggesting that a crypt sensing mechanism may be involved in the response to riboflavin deficiency.
