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

The amplitude and frequency of peristaltic contractions are two major parameters for assessing gastric motility. However, it is not fully understood how these parameters affect the important functions of the stomach, such as gastric mixing and emptying. This study aimed to quantify the effects of peristaltic amplitude and frequency on gastric mixing and emptying using computational fluid dynamics simulation of gastric flow with an anatomically realistic model of the stomach. Our results suggest that both the increase and decrease in peristaltic amplitude have a significant impact on mixing strength and emptying rate. For example, when the peristaltic amplitude was 1.2 times higher than normal, the emptying rate was 2.7 times faster, whereas when the amplitude was half, the emptying rate was 4.2 times slower. Moreover, the emptying rate increased more than proportionally with the peristaltic frequency. The nearest contraction wave to the pylorus and the subsequent waves promoted gastric emptying. These results suggest the importance of maintaining parameters within normal ranges to achieve healthy gastric function.
