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

Proximal and distal parts of the small intestine of 8-day-old suckling mice can best be maintained for 48 h in a serum-free organ culture system, Leibovitz L-15, at room air and room temperature. As determined by light and electron microscopy, the villous architecture was preserved as well as the classical ultrastructure of the enterocytes. Incorporation of 3H-thymidine and 3H-leucine continued during the culture period, reflecting a sustained synthesis of DNA and proteins for at least 48 h. The hydrolytic activities of the brushborder membrane, namely of lactase (L), trehalase (T), glucoamylase (GA) and alkaline phosphatase (AlPase) were measured in the explants as well as the culture medium. The overall enzymatic activities were increased as compared to the controls. In the tissue, L, GA and T activities remained stable or even increased during culture while in the medium an accumulation of enzymatic activities was noted especially for GA an AlPase. These results show that the morphological as well as the functional integrity of the mucosa is preserved for at least 48 h when small intestine of suckling mice is cultured in a serum-free medium.
