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

purposeTo investigate the optimal concentration of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) on esophageal stricture formation in rats to establish an animal model of benign esophageal stricture (BES).

methodsCorrosive esophageal burn was produced by internal application of different concentrations of NaOH to the distal esophagus in rats. As much as 66 male rats were randomly divided into eight groups: Group A (control, n = 6), Group B (sham-operated group, n = 6), Group C (5% NaOH, n = 8), Group D (10% NaOH, n = 8), Group E (20% NaOH, n = 8), Group F (30% NaOH, n = 10), Group G (40% NaOH, n = 14), and Group H (50% NaOH, n = 6). Surviving rats were killed at 28 days. The survival rate, body weight gain, symptoms, and histopathological changes were assessed.

resultsThe mortality rate was high in Groups G and H (73 and 67%). The prevalence of symptoms of BES was 43% in Groups D and E, 50% in Group F, 75% in Group G, and 100% in Group H. Statistically significant stricture formation of the esophagus was observed in Groups F and G. The degree of tissue damage was significantly higher in Groups E, F, and G.

conclusionA high concentration of NaOH of 30% was required to establish a survivable BES model in rats.
