A randomized controlled study to assess the effect of mosapride citrate on intestinal recovery following gastrectomy.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol, including prokinetic medications, is commonly used to prevent postoperative ileus. Prospective studies evaluating the effectiveness of mosapride citrate, a prokinetic 5-hydroxytryptamine 4 receptor agonist, in patients undergoing gastrectomy within the ERAS framework are lacking. This double-blind randomized trial included patients who were scheduled for laparoscopic or robotic gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Participants were randomly assigned to either a control (placebo) or experimental (mosapride citrate) group, with drugs administered on postoperative days 1-5. Bowel motility was evaluated based on bowel transit time measured using radiopaque markers, first-flatus time, and amount of food intake. No significant differences were observed in baseline characteristics between the two groups. On postoperative day 3, no significant difference was observed in the number of radiopaque markers visible in the colon between the groups. All factors associated with bowel recovery, including the time of first flatus, length of hospital stay, amount of food intake, and severity of abdominal discomfort, were similar between the two groups. Mosapride citrate does not benefit the recovery of intestinal motility after minimally invasive gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer. Therefore, routine postoperative use of mosapride citrate is not recommended in such patients.
