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

introduction and hypothesisTo determine whether delayed administration of CXCL12 alters anorectal manometric pressures and histology in rats following anal sphincterotomy compared to primary surgical repair alone.

methodsAdult female rats were divided into three groups: A, a control group that did not undergo surgery; B, anal sphincterotomy with primary surgical repair; C, anal sphincterotomy with primary surgical repair and intra-sphincteric injection of CXCL12 at 6 weeks post-injury. All rats underwent anal manometry measurements at baseline and at 6 and 12 weeks post-injury. Histologic analysis of the anal sphincters was also performed.

resultsAt baseline and 6 weeks, there were no statistically significant differences among D, T

conclusionsAdministration of chemokine therapy at 6 weeks post-repair using CXCL12 enhanced the magnitude of anal sphincter contractions in a rat model of anal sphincter injury but decreased overall duration of contraction. Increased anal sphincter contraction magnitude was not explained by histologic differences in explanted specimens.
