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

Readers of the physiological literature may be excused if they feel that fluid transport has become a complex and confusing field that is difficult to understand and to assess. The major theories of fluid-transporting epithelia are examined here with respect to their ability to explain quasi-isotonic fluid transport and its modulation by salt transport, osmotic permeability and basal tonicity. The basics of each theory are set out concisely, and their pros and cons are made explicit. Finally, a comparison is made in table form indicating their overall performance in relation to the problems of this difficult but important field.
