The Relationship between Intestinal Motility and Interstitial Cells of Cajal in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Mice.
Article in Hepatitis monthly, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundNonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of chronic liver disease in western world. However, NAFLD shows an increasing trend in China every year, which has attracted the attention of national health authorities. The previous studies have shown that NAFLD caused severe gastrointestinal motor disorders, but little is known about the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) role in gastrointestinal motor disorders.
objectivesThe aim of this study was to observe the ICC in jejunum of nonalcoholic fatty liver mice by immunohistochemistry and assessed the relationship between intestinal motility and ICC. MATERIALS AND
methodsThirty five Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into nonalcoholic fatty liver (n = 25) and control groups (n = 10), rats were housed individually in cages and had free access to food and water, nonalcoholic fatty liver group was duplicated by high-fat diet (consisted of ordinary food, 20 g/kg cholesterol and 100 g/kg fat) feeding. Dextran blue-2000 was used to monitor the intestinal motility. The proximal small intestine was harvested to investigate the C-kit positive ICC. The hepatic tissue slices were used for pathological observation.
resultsNonalcoholic fatty liver disease was successfully established. The intestinal motility in nonalcoholic fatty liver group (49.5 ± 10.9) was weaker compared to the control group (57.3 ± 8.9), P < 0.05. The rate of ICC also have shown statistically significant differences between nonalcoholic fatty liver (4.87 ± 2.97/mm (2)) and control groups (6.54 ± 3.13/mm (2)), P < 0.05.
conclusionsICC may be related to the intestinal motility in nonalcoholic fatty liver mice.
