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

aimsThe aim of this study was to examine the effect of varying the rheological properties of perfusate on the volume and muscular activity of the various compartments of the rat stomach.

methodsImage analysis was used to quantify the activity of the ex vivo stomach preparations when perfused according to a ramp profile.

resultsThe area of the fundus increased to a greater extent than that of the body when watery or viscous material was perfused. However, initial distension of the corpus was greater and occurred more rapidly when viscous material was perfused. Only the fundus expanded when perfusion followed the administration of verapamil. The frequency of antrocorporal contractions decreased significantly and the amplitude of antrocorporal contractions increased significantly with increase in gastric volume. The velocity of antrocorporal contractions did not vary with gastric volume but varied regionally in some preparations being faster distally than proximally. Neither the frequency, amplitude or velocity of antrocorporal contractions differed when pseudoplastic rather than watery fluid was perfused. However, the characteristics of antrocorporal contractions changed significantly when the stomach was perfused with material with rheological characteristics that induce different patterns of wall tension to those normally encountered. Hence, the mean frequency and speed of propagation of antrocorporal contractions increased and their direction of propagation became inconstant.
