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

The well-regulated mechanisms of intestinal transit favor aboral movement of intestinal contents during the formation of normal stool. Electrical pacemakers initiate mechanical smooth muscular propulsion under regulation by the enteric nervous system-a function of the "brain-gut axis." Several unique intestinal motor patterns function in concert to enhance the activities of intestinal transit. Development of pharmacologic targets of intestinal transit mechanisms afford clinicians control in the management of functional gastrointestinal disorders. This review highlights the important physiologic events of intestinal transit, discusses selected pharmacologic and neuromodulators involved in these processes, and provides relevant clinical correlates to physiologic events.
