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
A sustained increase in cytosolic Ca2+ can damage gastric mucosal cells. The present study has examined the role of Ca2+ in thromboxane B2 (TXB2)-mediated damage of rabbit isolated gastric mucosal cells. Cells were isolated from rabbit oxyntic mucosa by collagenase-EDTA digestion. Cell metabolic activity and cell damage were estimated by alamar blue dye absorbance and trypan blue uptake, respectively. Cellular Ca2+ was monitored by indo-1 dye fluorescence. Addition of TXB2 (10(-6) and 10(-8) M) to the cell suspension resulted in a decrease in metabolic activity, and this effect was reduced when Ca2+ was removed from the incubation medium. TXB2 addition to the incubation medium resulted in an increase in cytosolic Ca2+ and incubation of cells with the intracellular Ca2+ chelator, BAPTA-AM (20 microM), reduced cell injury in response to TXB2. Incubation of cells with the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 (1-25 microM) resulted in a dose-dependent increase in trypan blue uptake and a reduction in cell metabolism. Cell injury in response to A23187 were exacerbated by addition of TXB2 (10(-8) M) to the cell suspension. TXB2 treatment reduced cellular content of reduced glutathione (GSH), while exogenous GSH addition (10 mM) reduced TXB2-mediated cell injury. These data demonstrate that TXB2 can directly injure gastric mucosal cells. Gastric mucosal cellular damage in response to TXB2 is mediated in part by a disruption of Ca2+ homeostasis as well as a reduction in cellular GSH content.
