Linaclotide: a new option for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation and chronic idiopathic constipation in adults.
Review in Clinical medicine insights. Gastroenterology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Chronic idiopathic constipation (CC) and irritable bowel syndrome with predominant constipation (IBS-C) are the 2 most common conditions among functional gastrointestinal disorders. Despite current multiple therapeutic options, treatment remains challenging and dissatisfactory to many patients. Linaclotide is a novel therapeutic agent, which is a guanylate cyclase receptor agonist that stimulates water secretion from the intestinal epithelium by promoting chloride and bicarbonate efflux into the lumen through activation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator. Clinical trials have demonstrated that linaclotide is effective, safe and well tolerated in patients with CC and IBS-C. This review article highlights the mechanism of action of linaclotide, reviews published literature based on a search of databases, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), up to February 2013, and compares its utility with other currently available agents.
