Irritable bowel syndrome: update on colonic neuromuscular dysfunction and treatment.
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Recent discoveries regarding the relatively autonomous workings of the enteric nervous system have expanded our understanding of the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). However, the heterogeneity of the pathogenesis of IBS continues to create unique challenges for clinicians who care for these patients. Advances in our understanding of the structure and functions of the brain-gut axis and its interplay with other potentially important factors, such as genetic predisposition, inflammation, and psychological unrest, have led to new developments in the field of targeted pharmacotherapy for IBS sufferers. Therapies designed specifically to modulate gut motility, secretion, and/or sensation have been created and introduced into the marketplace in recent years, and additional designer formulations are in various stages of development. Concurrently, new discoveries of potentially beneficial effects of agents approved for other, often non-gastroenterologic, conditions continue to be reported. This article reviews the accumulating body of evidence supporting the importance of neuromuscular dysfunction as a central cause of IBS symptoms and provides a rationale for the discussion of current and future drug development.
