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

Gastrointestinal acute radiation syndrome (GI-ARS) is a deadly consequence of radiation exposure. We hypothesized that the peptide ghrelin is enteroprotective after radiation injury, and that ghrelin promotes intestinal stem cell regeneration via the vagus nerve. We subjected mice to 12-Gy partial body irradiation (PBI) with 5% bone marrow sparing. Some mice were vagotomized prior to PBI. We then injected the mice with human ghrelin (6 nmol/mouse) or vehicle at 24, 48, and 72 h post-irradiation, and collected blood and tissues at 96 h. PBI caused an 80% reduction in plasma citrulline, 32% shorter villi, 59% fewer crypts, a 14-fold increase in TUNEL
