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

Background/Aims: CSP01 is a novel superabsorbent hydrogel that absorbs gastrointestinal fluids and maintains high viscoelastic properties into the colon, where these fluids are released. Methods: We conducted a single-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled pilot study comparing change in colonic transit time (CTT) among patients with chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) treated for 21 days with either CSP01 hydrogel, active control (carboxymethylcellulose [CMC]) or placebo. CTT was measured using wireless motility capsule transit testing at pre-treatment and end-of-treatment. The primary endpoint was change in CTT. Results: Forty subjects (20 CSP01, 11 CMC, 9 placebo) were enrolled and 38 completed the study. There was no significant change in mean CTT by treatment group ( Conclusion: CSP01 significantly decreased CTT compared to placebo among patients with CIC, but not in patients with IBS-C.
