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

Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is characterized by insufficient intestinal length to support absorption causing malnutrition. The bowel adapts to SBS via intestinal dilation and delayed gastric emptying but still often requires long-term parenteral nutrition. Current surgical options to lengthen the bowel pose significant risks and often provide limited expansion. 'Distraction enterogenesis' has been proposed as a technique to induce intestinal lengthening for SBS. The deployment of the intestinal expansion sleeve (IES) device is hypothesized to result in significant intestinal lengthening in vivo. A Roux-en-Y was created in the jejunum of seven rats for isolated IES deployment. The IES was precontracted over a Bucatini noodle and inserted into the isolated roux limb. After 4 weeks of deployment, rats were sacrificed, Roux-en-Y length recorded, and histology analyzed. A paired
