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 intestine of marine teleosts must effectively absorb fluid from ingested seawater to avoid dehydration. This fluid transport has been almost exclusively characterized as driven by NaCl absorption. However, an additional feature of the osmoregulatory role of the intestine is substantial net HCO(3)(-) secretion. This is suggested to drive additional fluid absorption directly (via Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange) and indirectly by precipitating ingested Ca(2+) as CaCO(3), thus creating the osmotic gradient for additional fluid absorption. The present study tested this hypothesis by perfusing the intestine of the European flounder in vivo with varying [Ca(2+)]: 10 (control), 40, and 90 mM. Fractional fluid absorption increased from 47% (control) to 73% (90 mM Ca(2+)), where almost all secreted HCO(3)(-) was excreted as CaCO(3). This additional fluid absorption could not be explained by NaCl cotransport. Instead, a significant positive relationship between Na(+)-independent fluid absorption and total HCO(3)(-) secretion was consistent with the predicted roles for anion exchange and CaCO(3) precipitation. Further analysis suggested that Na(+)-independent fluid absorption could be accounted for by net Cl(-) and H(+) absorption (from Cl(-)/HCO(3)(-) exchange and CO(2) hydration, respectively). There was no evidence to suggest that CaCO(3) alone was responsible for driving fluid absorption. However, by preventing the accumulation of luminal Ca(2+) it played a vital role by dynamically maintaining a favorable osmotic gradient all along the intestine, which permits substantially higher rates of solute-linked fluid absorption. To overcome the resulting hyperosmotic and highly acidic absorbate, it is proposed that plasma HCO(3)(-) buffers the absorbed H(+) (from HCO(3)(-) production), and consequently reduces the osmolarity of the absorbed fluid entering the body.
