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 neuromuscular disorders encompass a spectrum of dysfunction in nerve and smooth muscle that includes gastric visceral hypersensitivity, gastric dysrhythmias, fundic dysfunction, antral hypomotility, and gastroparesis. Patients with each disorder may present with such vague dyspepsia symptoms as early satiety, upper abdominal discomfort, bloating, or nausea with or without vomiting. A careful history and physical examination may suggest a gastric neuromuscular disorder, but symptoms are nonspecific. Gastroparesis is the most severe form of neuromuscular dysfunction. Such reversible causes of gastroparesis as mechanical obstruction of the stomach and chronic mesenteric ischemia must be excluded. Gastroparesis, gastric dysrhythmias, and hypersensitivity may follow viral infection or be due to degenerative processes that affect the gastric enteric neurons, smooth muscle, or interstitial cells of Cajal. Commonly, the cause of these gastric neuromuscular disorders is unknown. An approach to the diagnosis and treatment of gastric neuromuscular disorders is reviewed, including dietary counseling, drugs, and medical devices.
