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 in vitro system was established to study the effect of coccidian parasites on ion transport systems in epithelial tissues using HT29/B6, a human colon carcinoma cell line, and Toxoplasma gondii as a model parasite. Ion transport was measured in perfusion chambers 5, 10 and 15 h post-infection using monolayers in which approximately 30% of the cells were parasitized. The infection had rapid effects on the conductance and unidirectional chloride fluxes of infected cell monolayers, which were two to three times higher than those of uninfected HT29/B6 cell monolayers throughout the observation period. However, the chloride net fluxes and short-circuit current were unaffected by the parasites, while the decrease of chloride seromucosal fluxes and conductance after addition of bumetanide were affected by the infection. The unidirectional mannitol fluxes, which correspond with water motion through paracellular pathways, were increased in infected HT29/B6 cell monolayers.
