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

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are inflammatory disorders associated with decreased colonic contractility. Here we show that, in experimental colitis in rat induced by trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid, there is a decrease in contraction in response to carbamoylcholine and the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca(+2) (SERCA) pump inhibitor thapsigargin. However, the decrease in contractility may occur due to decrease in the SERCA pump levels or their inactivation. Therefore, we examined the protein and mRNA levels for SERCA2 isoform, which is predominant isoform in colonic smooth muscle. There was a decrease in the levels of SERCA2 protein and mRNA levels in inflamed colonic muscle. These findings suggest that decreased SERCA pump levels is responsible for a decrease in the Ca(+2) stores in the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum that causes a decrease in the contractility in colonic smooth muscle leading to poor bowel movements.
