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
The aim of the research was to evaluate the influence of antagonists of specific beta-adrenergic receptor subtypes on bowel motility following abdominal surgery in rat model of postoperative ileus. Bowel motility was measured by the intestinal transit of Evans blue introduced via orogastric tube after surgical procedures of skin incision, laparotomy and laparotomy with gut manipulation. Male rats were given individual adrenergic receptor subtypes antagonists intraperitoneally, and the influence of administered agents on intestinal transit of Evans blue was then evaluated. No statistically significant differences in the length of intestine in tested rats were observed. Propranolol administered prior to surgical procedure has shown protective effect on Evans blue migration in rats undergoing laparotomy and gut manipulation. Intestinal dye transit for propranolol doses of 10, 30 and 45 mg/kg was 18.00 ± 1.88c m, 23.75 ± 1.71 cm and 22.5 ± 2.43 cm, respectively, and for last two doses, statistically significant increase of dye passage was noted, compared to Evans blue transit of 11.00 ± 2.43 cm in the control group. No acceleration of dye migration was seen following administration of beta1-, beta2- and beta3-selective adrenergic receptor antagonist metoprolol, ICI 118.551 and SR58894A, respectively. Our research confirmed that propranolol at high doses, as seen by other researchers, improved bowel motility in early phase of postoperative ileus. That slight acceleration of intestinal dye transit after surgery with gut manipulation is rather connected with membrane-stabilizing action, than the receptor blocking effect, as this effect was not observed after the application of selective antagonists of respective subtypes of beta-adrenergic receptor.
