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.
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to investigate transepithelial ionic permeation via the paracellular pathway of human Caco-2 epithelial monolayers and its contribution to absorption of the base guanidine.
methodsConfluent monolayers of Caco-2 epithelial cells were mounted in Ussing chambers and the transepithelial conductance and electrical potential difference (p.d.) determined after NaCl dilution or medium Na substitution (bi-ionic conditions). Guanidine absorption (Ja-b) was measured +/- transepithelial potential gradients using bi-ionic p.d.'s.
resultsBasal NaCl replacement with mannitol gives a transepithelial dilution p.d. of 28.0 +/- 3.1 mV basal solution electropositive (PCl/PNa = 0.34). Bi-ionic p.d.'s (basal replacements) indicate a cation selectivity of NH4+ > K+ approximately Cs+ > Na+ > Li+ > tetraethylammonium+ > N-methyl-D: -glucamine+ approximately choline+. Transepithelial conductances show good correspondence with bi-ionic potential data. Guanidine Ja-b was markedly sensitive to imposed transepithelial potential difference. The ratio of guanidine to mannitol permeability (measured simultaneously) increased from 3.6 in the absence of an imposed p.d. to 13.8 (basolateral negative p.d.).
conclusionsHydrated monovalent ions preferentially permeate the paracellular pathway (Eisenman sequence 2 or 3). Guanidine may access the paracellular pathway because absorptive flux is sensitive to the transepithelial potential difference. An alternative method to assess paracellular-mediated flux of charged organic molecules is suggested.
