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

We have previously suggested (Trevethick et al., Gut 34, 156-160) that indomethacin-induced ulceration of the rat gastric antrum may be a neutrophil-dependent process. Accordingly, in this study we have used an anti-neutrophil serum (ANS) to investigate the effects of neutrophil depletion on this pathology. In animals pretreated with the ANS to induce a nearly total neutropaenia, indomethacin-induced increases in blood neutrophilia and cell infiltration into the gastric antrum (assessed as LTB4 release ex vivo) were eliminated. In marked contrast, however, ANS pretreatment affected neither the area of mucosa damaged nor the microscopic characteristics or distribution of the lesions. These results suggest that, in contrast to the published reports examining indomethacin-induced ulceration of the gastric fundus, neutrophil infiltration is not involved in the pathogenesis of indomethacin-induced ulceration of the rat gastric antrum.
