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

Lafutidine, a newly developed histamine H(2)-receptor antagonist, inhibits daytime (i.e., postprandial) as well as nighttime gastric acid secretion in clinical studies. It also has gastroprotective activity that particularly affects mucosal blood flow in rats. This study focused on the efficacy of lafutidine on plasma concentrations of gastrointestinal peptides in humans. Six healthy male volunteers aged 23-32 years without Helicobacter pylori infection were orally administered either 10 mg lafutidine, 20 mg famotidine, or water only (control) 30 min after a standard meal (650 kcal). Plasma concentrations of lafutidine and famotidine were highest from 90 to 150 min after administration. Intragastric pH was elevated after both lafutidine and famotidine compared with the control. Plasma concentrations of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and somatostatin were significantly increased after lafutidine at 60 and 90 min. We concluded that lafutidine increases plasma concentrations of CGRP and somatostatin in humans, which may result in inhibition of postprandial acid secretion and gastroprotective activity.
