1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and neuromedin B (NMB) are found in the stomach's myenteric plexus and muscular layers. When exogenously administered, they contract stomach muscle in several species, but their ability to modulate enteric nerve functions has rarely been studied. We investigated the effects of GRP on cholinergic-mediated contractions of the stomach, after first characterizing the contractile effects of GRP, NMB, and bombesin (BB). Circular muscle rings, cut from the mouse gastric fundus, were studied using tissue bath techniques. Contractions evoked by electrical field stimulation (EFS; 5 Hz) were examined under non-adrenergic, non-nitrergic conditions. Contractions were expressed as % of the maximum contraction induced by carbachol (100 μM). GRP (0.0001-1 μM), NMB (0.0001-3 μM), and BB (0.0001-1 μM) induced concentration-dependent tonic muscle contractions. The pD
