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

We studied the neuronal density and size of myenteric neurons and the epithelial cell proliferation and crypt depth of the proximal colon in diabetic Wistar rats after supplementing them with L-glutamine (1%). The animals were divided into five groups: untreated normoglycemic (UN), L-glutamine-treated normoglycemic (NG), untreated diabetic (UD), and L-glutamine-treated diabetics 4 days (DG4) and 45 days (DG45) days after the onset of diabetes. We observed a reduction of 52.7% and 50.44% in the neuronal density of the proximal colon of the UD group compared to the UN and NG groups, respectively (P<0.05). The neuronal density found for the DG4 (32.8%) and DG45 (28.6%) groups was higher than that of the UD group (P>0.05). There were no significant differences (P>0.05) when the data relative to the area of the myenteric neuron cell bodies, metaphasic index, and crypt depth in the proximal colon were compared among experimental groups.
