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

1. Confocal microscopic studies of rat colonic mucosa showed that the pericryptal sheath surrounding distal colonic crypts is an effective barrier both to dextran and NaCl movement, whereas no such structure surrounds the caecal crypts. 2. The distal colonic pericryptal barrier was functionally demonstrated by accumulation of Sodium Green within the pericryptal space. After exposure to benzamil, Sodium Green accumulation was decreased. Fluorescein isocyanate-labelled dextran (FITC dextran; molecular mass 10000 Da) was accumulated in the crypt lumens and pericryptal spaces. Both dextran and Sodium Green accumulation were absent from the pericryptal zone surrounding caecal crypts. 3. Low dietary Na+ intake raised rat plasma aldosterone and stimulated distal pericryptal sheath growth and adhesiveness as shown by increased amounts of F-actin, smooth muscle actin, beta-catenin and E-cadherins in the pericryptal zone. It also raised the capacity of the distal colon to dehydrate against a high luminal hydraulic resistance. This linkage indicates that trophic effects on the colon resulting from a low Na+ diet are not confined solely to effects on transepithelial Na+ transport, but are observed in the pericryptal sheath. 4. A computer model of crypt function confirms that a pericryptal sheath with low permeability to NaCl is an essential component of the crypt dehydrating mechanism.
