Can Pantoprazole be Used for Premedication in Meckel Scintigraphy?

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
Objectives: Meckel scintigraphy is used to diagnose Meckel's diverticulum. Previously, premedication with ranitidine was the most frequently used method to increase the accuracy of scintigraphy. However, ranitidine can no longer be used because it is banned by the Food and Drug Administration. The aim of this study was to investigate the usability of pantoprazole as a premedication instead of ranitidine in Meckel scintigraphy. Methods: Twelve New Zealand rabbits were used in this experimental study. Rabbits were divided into two groups: pantoprazole and control. Six rabbits were premedicated with pantoprazole for three days. Meckel scintigraphy was performed on all rabbits. Counts were made and compared by drawing regions of interest from the stomach walls. Results: According to the findings of this experimental study, pantoprazole significantly increased Tc-99m-pertechnetate uptake in the stomach of rabbits on both visual and quantitative evaluation. Conclusion: Pantoprazole increases the gastric wall uptake of Tc-99m-pertechnetate in rabbits and is a potential drug for premedication in Meckel scintigraphy.
