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

Mosapride was effective in improving overall symptoms in patients with gastrointestinal disorders, including chronic gastritis, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and functional dyspepsia. Mosapride was more effective than teprenone in improving gastric stasis symptoms and gastric pain after 2 weeks of therapy (p < 0.001) in an open-label trial in 1042 patients with functional dyspepsia. Mosapride was as effective as famotidine and itopride, but more effective than tandospirone, in improving overall or individual symptoms of functional dyspepsia in randomized trials. However, in one randomized, double-blind trial in patients with mild to severe disease, the improvement in overall symptoms of functional dyspepsia did not differ significantly between mosapride or placebo treatment. Mosapride was well tolerated, with diarrhoea/loose stools, dry mouth, malaise and headache being reported in <5% of patients.
