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

Separation of traumatized tissue represents the only promising strategy in postoperative adhesion prevention, a relevant clinical problem after surgical intervention. In the present study scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and subsequent morphometry were used to analyse the tissue response to five commercial adhesion barriers. Standardised peritoneal lesions in Wistar rats were covered with solid and viscous barrier materials and semiquantitatively analysed 14 days postoperatively. Striking morphological differences in lesion surface organisation between the barrier groups became apparent with colonisation of the barrier by mesothelial cells to different degrees. Furthermore, the mesothelial cells showed either a normal or activated phenotype depending on the underlying biomaterial. These experiments demonstrate that the examination by SEM gives useful insights into the performance of barrier materials and the cellular processes of adhesion prevention, since mesothelial cells play an active role in the pathogenesis of adhesion formation.
