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

The tongue is a complex organ that plays a vital role in the functions of mastication, deglutition, articulation, airway protection, and oral hygiene maintenance. The tongue also has the function of regulating body temperature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of temperature on the tension changes of isolated rat tongue, with or without electric field stimulation (EFS). Tissue bath for isolated tongue was used. An in vitro isometric contraction of tongue from healthy Sprague-Dawley rat (body weight > or =200 g) was continuously recorded. Tension in strips of rat tongues that were untreated and treated with EFS, was recorded continuously in stepwise manner in temperatures that varied from 37 to 7 degrees C or 7 to 37 degrees C. Descent and reascent of temperature produced temperature-dependent tension changes. Basal tension of the tongue decreased as temperature was reduced, while EFS-induced spike contraction increased as temperature was reduced. Low temperature induced rapid and reproducible relaxation in isolated rat tongue strip. Increasing temperature enhanced basal tension and reduced EFS-induced spike contraction of the tongue.
