CFP/Yit: An Inbred Mouse Strain with Slow Gastrointestinal Transit.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundGastrointestinal transit (GIT) is influenced by factors including diet, medications, genetics, and gut microbiota, with slow GIT potentially indicating a functional disorder linked to conditions, such as constipation. Although GIT studies have utilized various animal models, few effectively model spontaneous slow GIT.
aimsWe aimed to characterize the GIT phenotype of CFP/Yit (CFP), an inbred mouse strain with suggested slow GIT.
methodsFemale and male CFP mice were compared to Crl:CD1 (ICR) mice in GIT and assessed based on oral gavage of fluorescent-labeled 70-kDa dextran, feed intake, fecal amount, and fecal water content. Histopathological analysis of the colon and analysis of gut microbiota were conducted.
resultsCFP mice exhibited a shorter small intestine and a 1.4-fold longer colon compared to ICR mice. The median whole-GIT time was 6.0-fold longer in CFP mice than in ICR mice. CFP mice demonstrated slower gastric and cecal transits than ICR mice, with a median colonic transit time of 4.1 h (2.9-fold longer). CFP mice exhibited lower daily feed intakes and fecal amounts. Fecal water content was lower in CFP mice, apparently attributed to the longer colon. Histopathological analysis showed no changes in CFP mice, including tumors or inflammation. Moreover, CFP mice had a higher Firmicutes/Bacteroidota ratio and a relative abundance of Erysipelotrichaceae in cecal and fecal contents.
conclusionsThis study indicates that CFP mice exhibit slow transit in the stomach, cecum, and colon. As a novel mouse model, CFP mice can contribute to the study of gastrointestinal physiology and disease.
