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

Stress induces chemical changes in the central nervous system which alters the biochemistry and physiology of the digestive tract. The present study determines arachidonic acid oxidation and damage in the colon following stress. Ten rats were stressed by the cold-restraint method; ten were controls. Stress induced 0.5 +/- 0.7 (S.D.) mucosal erosions whereas controls had none. Subepithelial hemorrhage and erosions occurred only in the proximal two-thirds of the colon. Prostaglandin E(2) synthesis was increased after stress compared to the control (381 +/- 130 vs. 1610 +/- 372 ng/g/min). Leukotriene C(4) synthesis also increased after stress (4217 +/- 994 vs. 11300 +/- 1662 ng/g/min). Synthesis of prostaglandin E(2) increased (r = 0.9381) with leukotriene C(4). The response of the colon to stress is less severe than that in the stomach and may be related to regional regulation of prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis.
