Evidence that myenteric neurons of the gastric corpus project to both the mucosa and the external muscle: myectomy operations on the canine stomach.

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
The distribution of nerve cell bodies and fibres in the canine stomach was investigated using antibodies to the general neuronal marker, neuron-specific enolase. Prominent ganglia containing many reactive nerve cells were found in the myenteric plexus of the gastric corpus and antrum. Nerve cells were absent from the submucosa of the corpus and were extremely rare in the antrum. Removal of areas of longitudinal muscle and myenteric plexus from the corpus (myectomy), with 7 days allowed for axon degeneration, resulted in the loss of fibres reactive for galanin, gastrin-releasing peptide, substance P and vasoactive intestinal peptide from both the circular muscle and mucosa in the area covered by the lesion. Combined vagotomy and sympathetic denervation did not significantly affect these fibres, but did cause fibres reactive for calcitonin gene-related peptide to degenerate. It is concluded that the myenteric plexus of the gastric corpus, like the myenteric plexus of the small intestine and colon, is the source of nerve fibres innervating the circular muscle, but, in contrast to other regions of the gastrointestinal tract, myenteric ganglia, not submucous ganglia, are the major, or sole, source of the intrinsic innervation of the mucosa.
