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

The mammalian gut undergoes morphological changes during development. We studied the developing mouse duodenojejunal flexure (DJF) to elucidate the mechanism of formation. During embryonic days 10.75-13.75, DJF formation was morphologically classified into three stages: the expansion stage, flexure formation stage, and flexure elongation stage. From the expansion to the flexure formation stages, the DJF wall showed asymmetric morphology and proliferation along the left-right intestinal axis. From the flexure formation to the flexure elongation stage, the DJF started to bend dorsally with counterclockwise rotation along the antero-caudal intestinal axis, indicating that the original right side of the duodenum was rotated towards the dorsal body wall during development of the DJF. The direction of attachment of the dorsal mesentery to the DJF did not correspond to the bending direction of the DJF during flexure formation, and this finding indicated that the dorsal mesentery contributed very little to DJF formation. During DJF formation, Aldh1a2 and hedgehog mRNAs were detected at the DJF, and their expression levels differed along the bending axis. In conclusion, DJF formation might be triggered by asymmetric morphology and proliferation along the left-right intestinal axis under the control of retinoic acid and hedgehog signaling.
