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 report mycobacterial granulomatous inflammation in the ulcerated caecum of rats that received indomethacin. Two groups of male rats were treated with dietary indomethacin 3 mg/kg/day or untreated diet for 3 weeks. Six out of 8 indomethacin treated rats showed both ulceration and inflammation of the caecal mucosa. Two of the rats showing caecal ulceration also showed distinct granulomatous inflammation of the caecal mucosa and acid-fast bacilli were identified within granulomata. None of the other indomethacin treated or control rats contained acid-fast bacilli within caecal tissue sections but they were present, in the same sections, within the lumen of most rats in both groups. Polymerase chain reaction analysis identified the mycobacterial 65 kDa GroEL gene within control and granulomatous caecal tissue. In a repeat of indomethacin administration to a third group of rats, culture of both non-granulomatous caecal tissue (containing histologically identified luminal acid-fast bacilli) and faecal samples for mycobacteria was negative.
