Magnetoenterography for the Detection of Partial Mesenteric Ischemia.

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
backgroundAcute mesenteric ischemia represents a life-threatening gastrointestinal condition. A noninvasive diagnostic modality that identifies mesenteric ischemia patients early in the disease process will enable early surgical intervention. Previous studies have identified significant changes in the small-bowel electrical slow-wave parameters during intestinal ischemia caused by total occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery. The purpose of this study was to use noninvasive biomagnetic techniques to assess functional physiological changes in intestinal slow waves in response to partial mesenteric ischemia.
methodsWe induced progressive intestinal ischemia in normal porcine subjects (n = 10) by slowly increasing the occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery at the following percentages of baseline flow: 50%, 75%, 90%, and 100% while simultaneous transabdominal magnetoenterogram (MENG) and serosal electromyogram (EMG) recordings were being obtained.
resultsA statistically significant serosal EMG amplitude decrease was observed at 100% occlusion compared with baseline, whereas no significant change was observed for MENG amplitude at any progressive occlusion levels. MENG recordings showed significant changes in the frequency and percentage of power distributed in bradyenteric and normoenteric frequency ranges at 50%, 75%, 90%, and 100% vessel occlusions. In serosal EMG recordings, a similar percent power distribution (PPD) effect was observed at 75%, 90%, and 100% occlusion levels. Serosal EMG showed a statistically significant increase in tachyenteric PPD at 90% and 100% occlusion. We observed significant increase in tachyenteric PPD only at the 100% occlusion level in MENG recordings.
conclusionsIschemic changes in the intestinal slow wave can be detected early and noninvasively even with partial vascular occlusion. Our results suggest that noninvasive MENG may be useful for clinical diagnosis of partial mesenteric ischemia.
