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

Rats receiving intracolonic administration of indomethacin develop longitudinal ulcers on the mesenteric side of the small intestine that are similar to those seen in the acute phase of Crohn's disease. To investigate the causative role of microcirculatory disturbances and to elucidate the therapeutic effect of antioxidants on this enteropathy in rats, we serially evaluated changes in regional blood flow of the small intestine using laser Doppler perfusion imaging and the colored microsphere injection method. Both methods disclosed stepwise hyperperfusion limited to the mesenteric side of the small intestine following transient ischemia during the initial 30-60 minutes. In addition, both a radical scavenger and a radical production inhibitor significantly ameliorated the mesenteric longitudinal ulcers. We concluded that ischemia-reperfusion on the mesenteric side accompanying excessive production of radicals might be strongly involved in indomethacin-induced longitudinal ulcers of the small intestine in rats.
