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

Gastrointestinal slow waves are generated within networks of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs). In the intact tissue, slow waves are entrained to neighboring ICCs with higher intrinsic frequencies, leading to active propagation of slow waves. Degradation of ICC networks in humans is associated with motility disorders; however, the pathophysiological mechanisms of this relationship are uncertain. A recently developed biophysically based mathematical model of ICC was adopted and updated to simulate entrainment of slow waves. Simulated slow wave propagation was successfully entrained in a one-dimensional model, which contained a gradient of intrinsic frequencies. Slow wave propagation was then simulated in tissue models which contained a realistic two-dimensional microstructure of the myenteric ICC networks translated from wild-type (WT) and 5-HT(2B) knockout (degraded) mouse jejunum. The results showed that the peak current density in the WT model was 0.49 muA mm(-2) higher than the 5-HT(2B) knockout model, and the intracellular Ca(2+) density after 400 ms was 0.26 mM mm(-2) higher in the WT model. In conclusion, tissue-specific models of slow waves are presented, and simulations quantitatively demonstrated physiological differences between WT and 5-HT(2B) knockout models. This study provides a framework for evaluating how ICC network degradation may impair slow wave propagation and ultimately motility and transit.
