Development of a Protocol for Dynamic Gastric Emptying Scintigraphy.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimGastric emptying (GE) scintigraphy is a noninvasive technique that is useful for assessing gastric accommodation and emptying. Further, it can facilitate dynamic acquisition, which provides continuous images over time. Hence, we considered the quantitative evaluation of residual gastric motility function using dynamic images in post-gastrectomy patients. The current study aimed to establish a protocol for dynamic GE scintigraphy, a novel method that can quantitatively assess residual gastric motility function in patients who underwent gastrectomy. PATIENTS AND
methodsA preliminary analysis of four healthy volunteers who underwent dynamic GE scintigraphy examinations was performed. The following factors were considered during the development of the examination protocols: direction of acquisition, start time for acquisition, frame time, acquisition time, and end of the acquisition period. A clinical analysis of 14 postoperative patients who underwent dynamic GE scintigraphy examinations was performed. The examination protocol used in the clinical study was based on the results of the preliminary study. Four indices, including T

conclusionThe novel dynamic GE scintigraphy protocol was established to quantitatively assess residual gastric motility in postgastrectomy patients.
