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

Improvement of bowel function is accompanied by increased luminal flow and altered epithelial mechanical forces, yet the underlying epithelial mechanisms remain unclear. We investigated whether enhanced luminal stimulation is associated with epithelial mechanotransduction and junctional remodeling during changes in colonic motility. Sennoside was orally administered at 4.8 mg/kg body weight to 5-week-old male BALB/cAJcl mice for 21 days to model increased luminal stimulation. Stool characteristics, fecal water content, Bristol Stool Form Scale scores, and segmental colonic motility were assessed. Expression of Muc2, inflammatory cytokines, Trpv4, and E-cadherin was quantified across colonic regions. In CT26 monolayers, mechanical stress was applied to evaluate transient receptor potential channel induction, E-cadherin redistribution, and transepithelial electrical resistance, and the effect of
