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

Certain patients with anorectal malforma-tions (ARMs) continue to suffer from postoperative dysphoria. The enteric nervous system (ENS) is closely associated with defecation. The purinergic receptor P2Y2 (P2Y2) and Hu antigen D (HuD) proteins contain multiple motifs that enable their activation and direct coupling to integrin and growth factor receptor signaling pathways; thus, they may serve as key points in ENS development. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression pattern of P2Y2 and HuD proteins during anorectal development in ARM embryos. The embryogenesis of ARM in rats was induced by ethylenethiourea (ETU) on the 10th gestational day. The expression patterns of P2Y2 and HuD proteins were evaluated by immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis in normal, ETU and ARM rat embryos on embryonic days E17, E19 and E21; their mRNA levels were assessed via reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‑qPCR) of the distal rectum of fetal rats. Immunohistochemistry of the distal rectum demonstrated that on E17, the expression levels of the two proteins were not different between the three groups. On E19, the expression of HuD was significantly decreased in the ARM group. On E21, the two proteins were significantly decreased in the ARM group. Additionally, the expression levels of the two proteins on E17 were significantly lower than on E21 in the ARM group. Western blotting and RT‑qPCR also revealed that the P2Y2 and HuD proteins and mRNA expression levels were significantly decreased in the ARM groups when compared with the normal group on E17 and E21 (P<0.01). Thus, the present study demonstrated that downregulation of P2Y2 and HuD may partly be related to the development of the ENS in ARM embryos.
