Acceleration of postoperative recovery with brief intraoperative vagal nerve stimulation mediated
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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: Postoperative recovery is largely dependent on the restoration of gastrointestinal motility. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects and mechanisms of intraoperative vagus nerve stimulation (iVNS) on postoperative recovery from abdominal surgery in rats. Methods: The Nissen fundoplication surgery was performed on two groups of rats: sham-iVNS group and iVNS group (VNS was performed during surgery). Animal's behavior, eating, drinking and feces' conditions were monitored at specific postoperative days. Gastric slow waves (GSWs) and electrocardiogram (ECG) were recorded; blood samples were collected for the assessment of inflammatory cytokines. Results: (1) iVNS shortened initiate times to water and food intake ( Conclusion: Brief iVNS accelerates postoperative recovery by ameliorating postoperative animal behaviors, improving gastrointestinal motility and inhibiting inflammatory cytokines mediated
