New telemetry device for the measurement of gastrointestinal motility in rats and comparison with standard equipment.
Article in International surgery, 2015. 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
To perform stress-free recording of gastrointestinal motility in rats with strain gauge transducers, telemetry equipment had to be developed. We developed, programmed, and tested a new telemetry device that records gastrointestinal motility in freely moving rats using strain gauge transducers. The device can collect and transmit data in freely moving rats. Data are received and stored for later analysis with a regular PC. Linear calibration curves were obtained for the strain gauge transducers used. We compared data obtained with the new telemetry device with data gathered with standard equipment and could not find any statistically significant difference. Wired gastric and colonic contraction frequencies were 4.6 ± 0.3 per minute and 1.5 ± 0.3 per minute, whereas telemetric contraction frequencies were 4.4 ± 0.1 per minute and 1.25 ± 0.1 per minute. The new telemetry device is a very useful tool for the measurement of gastrointestinal motility in rats.
