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

Loss of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) has been associated with gastric dysfunction and is also observed during normal aging at ~13% reduction per decade. The impact of ICC loss on gastric slow wave conduction velocity is currently undefined. This study correlated human gastric slow wave velocity with ICC loss and aging. High-resolution gastric slow wave mapping data were screened from a database of 42 patients with severe gastric dysfunction (n = 20) and controls (n = 22). Correlations were performed between corpus slow wave conduction parameters (frequency, velocity, and amplitude) and corpus ICC counts in patients, and with age in controls. Physiological parameters were further integrated into computational models of gastric mixing. Patients: ICC count demonstrated a negative correlation with slow wave velocity in the corpus (i.e., higher velocities with reduced ICC; r
