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

The enteric nervous system (ENS) is involved in many gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and our understanding of how gut morphology is disrupted remains limited due to a lack of tools to investigate tissues at the organ scale. Here we present enGLOW (enteric network Gastrointestinal Lightsheet Optical Workflow), a workflow customized for high spatial-resolution investigation of the ENS in gastrointestinal samples. We demonstrate how enGLOW can extract quantitative data in cubic centimeters of intact tissue. In a single dataset, we quantify intestinal wall metrics in autofluorescence and labeled ENS-associated cells in centimeter-long segments of tissue using three-dimensional (3D) segmentation. With virtual tissue flattening, we separate neuronal plexuses in mouse and human samples, and observe variations in mucosal morphology and labeled signal distribution in genetically modified animals. As an optimized ready-to-use workflow, enGLOW expands the gut research toolbox to enable understanding of enteric network morphology at scales that encompass functional networks.
