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/

aimsMesenteric afferent nerves (MANs) play a pivotal role in the visceral-nociceptive perception. Inappropriate activation of MANs may be involved in the pathogenesis of post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome (PI-IBS). However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. We assessed the effects of mucosal mediators from different bowel segments of guinea pigs with PI-IBS on MAN firing and the role of mast cells.

methodsPI-IBS was induced in guinea pigs by Trichinella spiralis infection. Inflammation in terminal ileum, proximal and distal colon was scored with hematoxylin-eosin staining, and mast cell infiltration was assessed with immunofluorescence. We determined the effects of supernatant extracted from the mucosa of different bowel segments of PI-IBS on MANs activity, and assessed the role of mast cells in this process.

resultsEight weeks after infection, intestinal inflammation resolved, whereas mast cell numbers increased significantly in terminal ileum and proximal colon (P < 0.05) compared with findings in controls. Mucosal supernatant from different bowel segments of PI-IBS models, but not from controls, significantly enhanced the frequency of MAN firing (terminal ileum 41.01 ± 7.60 Hz vs. 26.55 ± 0.67 Hz, P = 0.001; proximal colon 45.90 ± 11.20 Hz vs. 30.88 ± 6.92 Hz, P = 0.002; distal colon 48.25 ± 9.70 Hz vs. 29.47 ± 6.13 Hz, P < 0.001). In addition, the excitatory effects were inhibited by mast cell stabilizer Nasmil (terminal ileum, 32.71 ± 2.52 Hz, P = 0.030; proximal colon, 30.94 ± 4.44 Hz, P = 0.002; distal colon, 27.15 ± 5.83 Hz, P < 0.001).

conclusionsSupernatant from the intestinal mucosa of different bowel segments of PI-IBS models markedly enhanced the MAN firing in a mast cell-dependent manner, indicating that mast cell-mediated MAN activation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PI-IBS.
