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

Nitric oxide (NO) has been proposed as an inhibitory transmitter in gastrointestinal muscle relaxation. We analyzed the distribution of nitric-oxide producing neurons in the rabbit intestine through nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide-phosphate-diaphorase histochemistry. By this reliable and convenient method, we visualized neuronal nitric-oxide-synthase, the enzyme responsible for nitric oxide generation, in the rabbit intestine. In the ileum and rectum, nitric-oxide-synthase-related diaphorase activity was present in the myenteric plexus ganglion cells, and in the nerve fibers in the internodal strand, secondary, and tertiary plexuses. These fibers were particularly abundant in the deep circular rather than in the outer longitudinal muscle layer. In the inner submucosal plexus, we found scarce labeled neurons. Labeled neural somata showed a range of sizes and shapes suggesting different functional roles. The present basic information is required to use the rabbit as an experimental animal in neurochemical NO enteric research.
