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

The arrangement of the enteric ganglia and nerve fibre plexuses was examined in the submucous and mucous layers and around Peyer's patches of the porcine small intestine to clarify their organisation. Immunohistochemistry of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and neurofilament proteins in wholemounts, chopped or paraffin sections was used to locate the neural elements. The ganglia of the internal and external submucous plexuses were situated at 2 different topographic locations, being clearly demarcated by the submucosal vascular arcades and differing in neuronal composition. The internal submucous plexus was the only contributor to the plexus surrounding the follicles of Peyer's patches as a continuous mesh of 3 ganglionated nerve subplexuses. VIP-immunoreactive fibres from this mesh innervated the dome. The mucosal plexus, which was subdivided into 4 subunits--the outer proprial, inner proprial, pericryptal and villous plexuses--contained a few solitary neuronal perikarya. Labelling for neurofilament proteins revealed Dogiel types II, IV and VI neurons. The observations reveal several new features in the enteric nervous system of the pig and clarify its nomenclature.
