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

BACKGROUND/

aimsInterstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) play important functions in motor activity of the gastrointestinal tract. The role of ICC as pace-makers is well established, however their participation in neurotransmission is controversial. Studies using mutant animals that lack ICC have yielded variable conclusions on their importance in enteric motor responses. The purpose of this study was to: (1) clarify the role of intramuscular ICC (ICC-IM) in gastric motor-neurotransmission and (2) evaluate remodeling of enteric mo-tor responses in W/W(V) mice.

methodsKit immunohistochemistry and post-junctional contractile responses were performed on fundus muscles from wild-type and W/W(V) mice and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to evaluate differences in muscarinic and neurokinin receptor expression.

resultsAlthough ICC-IM were greatly reduced in comparison with wild-type mice, we found that ICC-IM persisted in the fundus of many W/W(V) animals. ICC-IM were not observed in W/W(V) group 1 (46%) but were observed in W/W(V) group 2 (40%). Evoked neural responses consisted of excitatory and inhibitory components. The inhibitory component (nitrergic) was absent in W/W(V) group 1 and reduced in W/W(V) group 2. Enhanced excitatory responses (cholinergic) were observed in both W/W(V) groups and qPCR re-vealed that muscarinic-M3 receptor expression was significantly augmented in the W/W(V) fundus compared to wild-type controls.

conclusionsThis study demonstrates that ICC-IM mediate nitrergic inhibitory neurotransmission in the fundus and provides evidence of plas-ticity changes in neuronal responses that may explain discrepancies in previous functional studies which utilized mutant animals to examine the role of ICC-IM in gastric enteric motor responses.
