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

Diabetic gastroparesis (DGP) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). Our previous study suggested that the expression of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) is closely related to DGP. However, the role of MALAT1 in DGP pathogenesis remains unclear. Here, we aim to characterize the role of MALAT1 in DGP. First, we analyzed the lncRNA expression profiles through lncRNA sequencing. Next, we detected MALAT1 expression in the stomach tissues of DGP model mice and diabetic patients. Then, we investigated the role and mechanisms of MALAT1 in the proliferation, migration, phenotypic switch, and carbachol-induced intracellular Ca
