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

Noxious stimulation-induced esophageal nociception plays a crucial role in generating esophageal pain and heartburn, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. MrgprC11 is a recently discovered member belonging to Mas1-related G protein-coupled receptor (Mrgpr) family, which is selectively expressed in afferent DRG neurons and distinctively encodes somatic pain and itch sensations. Whether MrgprC11 is also functionally expressed in esophageal afferent neurons and mediates esophageal nociception has yet to be defined. We first compared MrgprC11 mRNA expressions in the esophagus, DRG, and vagal ganglia by RT-PCR. MrgprC11-positive nerve fiber distributions were revealed by confocal imaging in the whole mount esophageal tissues using the MrgprC11
