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

aimTo characterize the gastric myoelectric activity (GMA) and intra-abdominal pressure changes induced by emetic stimuli (apomorphine and cisplatin) in the ferret.

methodsGMA and intra-abdominal pressure were recorded in conscious, unrestrained ferrets surgically implanted with radiotelemetry transmitters. Animals were challenged with apomorphine (0.25 mg/kg sc) and cisplatin (10 mg/kg ip), and the emetic response was quantified via direct observation and intra-abdominal pressure recording for 1 h and 4 h, respectively. The GMA was analyzed by spectral analysis; the parameters used to characterize the GMA were the dominant frequency (DF) and the repartition of spectral power in the bradygastric, normogastric and tachygastric frequency ranges.

resultsRetches were identified on the intra-abdominal pressure trace as peaks 0.30 +/- 1.01 s in duration and 59.57 +/- 2.74 mmHg in amplitude, vomit peaks were longer (0.82 +/- 0.06 s, P < 0.01) and reached a higher pressure (87.73 +/- 8.12 mmHg, P < 0.001). The number of retches and vomits quantified via direct observation [apomorphine: 65.5 +/- 11.8 retches + vomits (R+V), cisplatin: 202.6 +/- 64.1 R+V] and intra-abdominal pressure (apomorphine: 68.3 +/- 13.7 R+V, n = 8; cisplatin: 219.0 +/- 69.2 R+V, n = 8) were correlated (r = 0.97, P < 0.0001) and the timing of emesis was consistent between the 2 methods. Apomorphine induced a decrease in normogastria from 45.48% +/- 4.35% to 36.70 +/- 4.34% (n = 8, P < 0.05) but the DF of the slow waves was not changed [8.95 +/- 0.25 counts/min (cpm) vs 8.68 +/- 0.35 cpm, n = 8, P > 0.05]. Cisplatin induced a decrease in normogastria from 55.83% +/- 4.30% to 29.22% +/- 5.16% and an increase in bradygastria from 14.28% +/- 2.32% to 31.19% +/- 8.33% (n = 8, P < 0.001) but the DF (9.14 +/- 0.13 cpm) remained unchanged (P > 0.05). The GMA changes induced by cisplatin preceded the emetic response as normogastria was reduced for 1 h before the onset of emesis (57.61% +/- 5.66% to 39.91% +/- 5.74%, n = 6, P < 0.05). Peri-emesis analysis revealed that the GMA was significantly disturbed during and immediately after, but not immediately before, the emetic episodes.

conclusionThe induction of emesis is reliably associated with a disrupted GMA, but changes may also occur prior to and following the emetic response.
