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

We investigated whether acute cold-induced vagal activation through brainstem thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) signaling influences abdominal surgery-induced delayed gastric emptying (GE) in fasted rats. Laparotomy and cecal palpation or sham (short anesthesia alone) was performed 10 min before or 30 min after cold exposure (4-6°C) lasting 90 min. Non-nutrient GE was assessed during 70-90 min of cold exposure. Control groups remained at room temperature (RT). The stable TRH analog, RX-77368 (50 ng/rat) was injected intracisternally immediately before surgery and GE monitored 30-50 min postsurgery in rats maintained at RT. Plasma acyl (AG) and total ghrelin levels were assessed using the new RAPID blood processing method and radioimmunoassays. Desacyl ghrelin (DAG) was derived from total minus AG. In rats maintained at RT, abdominal surgery decreased GE by 60% compared to sham. Cold before or after surgery or RX-77368 normalized the delayed GE. In non-fasted rats, cold exposure increased plasma AG and DAG levels at 2 h (2.4- and 2.7-times, respectively) and 4 h (2.2- and 2.0-times, respectively) compared to values in rats maintained at RT. In fasted rats, abdominal surgery decreased AG and DAG levels by 2.4- and 2.1-times, respectively, at 90 min. Cold for 90 min after surgery normalized AG and DAG levels to those observed in sham-treated animals kept at RT. These data indicate that endogenous (cold exposure) and exogenous (TRH analog) activation of medullary TRH vagal signaling prevent abdominal surgery-induced delayed GE. The restoration of circulating AG levels inhibited by abdominal surgery may contribute to alleviate postoperative gastric ileus.
