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

In study I subjects had two sessions--one to examine the effects of reading and another to study the effects of relaxation exercises. An incomplete crossover design was used. Subjects (N = 13) decreased mean acid output by 32.2% while reading and 2.5% after relaxation exercises (N = 14). In study II, six subjects each had one session to examine the effects on acid output of a difficult maze-solving task. Mean acid output during maze-solving decreased 52.6% relative to the control period. The results of these two studies suggest that the degree of cognitive involvement is an important factor in the decrease of acid output. A modification of the Heidelberg telemetry equipment was described. It permitted a continuous measure of gastric acid output, was relatively nonaversive to subjects, and minimized the risk of cephalic or gastric phase effects of acid secretion due to the measuring technique. It is recommended as a valuable adjunct for studies designed to change gastric acidity.
