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

In recent years, with the development of magnified endoscopic technology, the microstructure of the gastric mucosa surface has been widely studied. However, it is unclear why the crypt opening shape of the fundic gland is different from that of the pyloric gland. We attempted to explain the problem by means of physical concepts, mathematical tools and some pathological perspectives. We first constructed an "L" type tubular structure on the basis of the pathology of the gastric mucosa and some geometric principles and then analyzed the distortion of marginal crypt epithelia after we added cells in the model via the mechanism of continuous regeneration. Finally, we determined that the crypt opening shape of the pyloric gland is derived mathematically from that of the fundic gland with the help of the idea of the Riemann sum. According to the derivation of the Euler force, it is possible that the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) protects the integrity of the gastric mucosa. Our model suggests that the evolution of the fundic gland and the pyloric gland triggers the EMT via elastic deformation. The basic logic of our model is the principle of least action.
