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

backgroundTo diagnose gastroparesis, it is necessary to assess gastric emptying accurately. This study aims to investigate the role of three-dimensional ultrasonography (3-D US) on the measurement of gastric volume to evaluate gastric accommodation in healthy patients.

methodsIn this study, 21 volunteers, 46 patients with diabetic gastroparesis (DG), and 22 patients with postsurgical gastroparesis (PSG) underwent 3-D US after oral administration of 250 mL gastrointestinal contrast at 2, 30, 60, and 90 min. The volume of the contrast agent in the stomach was then calculated using the virtual organ computer-aided analysis (VOCAL) (Virtual Organ Computer-aided AnaLysis, General Electric Medical Systems, Kretztechnik, Zipf, Austria).

resultsIn the DG group, the gastric residue volumes at postprandial 60 and 90 min were significantly higher than those in the healthy group (P<0.05), and the areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of these parameters were 0.830 and 0.957, respectively. There were significant differences between the PSG and healthy groups at 60 and 90 min; however, the AUC of gastric residue at 90 min (0.955) was higher than the AUC at 60 min (0.697).

conclusionsTherefore, this study showed that the 3-D US is a powerful tool for assessing gastric emptying and provides a new strategy for diagnosing gastroparesis.
