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

Longitudinal and radial movements during spontaneous contractions of isolated segments of terminal ileum of the brushtail possum, a species of arboreal folivore, were studied using high definition spatiotemporal maps. Segments obtained from specimens were continuously perfused with solutions of various apparent viscosities at 3 cm and 5 cm hydrostatic pressure. A series of sustained tetrodotoxin-sensitive peristaltic events occurred during perfusion. The leading edge of each peristaltic event progressed by a succession of rhythmic surges of circular contraction with concerted concurrent phasic longitudinal contractions. Three types of peristaltic event were observed, with differing durations of occlusion and patterns of cyclic, in phase, circular and longitudinal contractions. Each peristaltic event was preceded by a change of shade on the D map that indicated circumferential dilatation. Differences in the slopes of these phasic shade changes from those occurring during peristalsis indicate that this distension is passive and likely results from aboral displacement of fluid. Tetradotoxin insensitive longitudinal contraction waves of frequency 9.2 min(-1) occurred during and in the absence of peristalsis, originating at a variety of sites, and propagating either in an orad or aborad direction but predominantly in the latter. Perfusion with 1% guar gum, at 5 cm hydrostatic pressure caused the lumen to become distended and the generation of peristaltic events to cease pending reduction of the hydrostatic head to 3 cm but longitudinal contractile activity was preserved. Neither the frequencies nor the rates of progression of circular and longitudinal contractile events, nor the temporal coordination between these events, varied with the apparent viscosity of the perfusate or altered in a manner that could facilitate mixing.
