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

backgroundSecondary peristalsis contributes to clearance of retained refluxate or material from the esophagus.

aimThe goal of our study was to investigate the effects of hydrochloric acid (HCl) on physiological characteristics of esophageal secondary peristalsis in healthy adults.

methodsAfter recording esophageal motility baseline for primary peristalsis, secondary peristalsis was stimulated with slow and rapid air injections in the mid-esophageal in 16 healthy subjects. Normal saline and HCl (0.1 N) were separately infused into the esophagus to test whether they had effects on secondary peristalsis.

resultsAfter infusion of HCl, the threshold volume to generate secondary peristalsis was significantly decreased during rapid and slow air infusions (both P < 0.05). The frequency of secondary peristalsis was increased after HCl infusion (90 % [72.5-100 %] versus 85 % [72.5-90 %], P = 0.002). Infusion of HCl significantly increased pressure wave amplitude during rapid and slow air infusions (both P < 0.05). Infusion of saline did not affect any parameters of secondary peristalsis. The occurrence of heartburn was generated in 7 of 16 subjects after infusion of HCl with an increase in visual analogue scale score (12.5).

conclusionsOur data show that acute esophageal acid infusion enhances sensitivity of distension-induced secondary peristalsis and enhances secondary peristaltic activity. The study supports the evidence of the presence of acid-sensitive afferents in the modulation of distension-induced secondary peristalsis in humans.
