The Role of Intestinal Microbiota and Mast Cell in a Rat Model of Visceral Hypersensitivity.
Article in Journal of neurogastroenterology and motility, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: To explore the role of intestinal flora and mast cells in visceral hypersensitivity (VH). Methods: The experimental animals were divided into 4 groups: control group, VH group, VH + VSL#3 group, and VH + ketotifen group. Stool samples were collected from each group (n = 3) for a further analysis using 16S ribosomal DNA gene sequence. Visceral sensitivity was evaluated by abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) score. Colon tissues of rats were obtained from each group. Mast cells were detected by toluidine blue staining. The degranulation of mast cells was assessed by transmission electron microscopy. Results: VH rat model could successfully be induced by acetic acid enema combined with partial limb restraint method. Compared with rats in the control group, AWR score, number of mast cells, and degranulation of mast cells were increased in the VH rats, which could be reduced by administration of ketotifen or probiotic VSL#3. Conclusions: Probiotic VSL#3 decreases visceral sensitivity in VH rats. The mechanism may be related to mast cell and intestinal flora. Change of
