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

Gastric motility is coordinated by underlying bioelectrical slow waves. Gastric dysrhythmias occur in gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders, but there are no validated methods for eliminating dysrhythmias. We hypothesized that targeted ablation could eliminate pacemaker sites in the stomach, including dysrhythmic ectopic pacemaker sites. In vivo high-resolution serosal electrical mapping (16 × 16 electrodes; 6 × 6 cm) was applied to localize normal and ectopic gastric pacemaker sites in 13 anesthetized pigs. Radiofrequency ablation was performed in a square formation surrounding the pacemaker site. Postablation high-resolution mapping revealed that ablation successfully induced localized conduction blocks after 18 min (SD 5). Normal gastric pacemaker sites were eliminated by ablation (
