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 gut endocrine gene, neurotensin (NT/N), is expressed in a strict temporally and spatially specific pattern. Utilizing a sensitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction procedure, we analyzed foregut and midgut organs for NT/N expression, determined the earliest apparent time point that NT/N is expressed in the gastrointestinal tract and compared the temporal relationship of NT/N with other genes. NT/N expression was detected in the fetal and early postnatal stomach. In the small bowel, NT/N was expressed at the earliest fetal time (14 days) that the small bowel could be reliably delineated from other gut organs; in contrast, expression of sucrase-isomaltase was only apparent at 28 days after birth. NT/N was expressed in the fetal (12, 14 and 16 days) liver and then again on days 3 and 7 after birth; however, NT/N was detected only in the fetal (14 and 16 days) pancreas. Finally, NT/N expression was first detected at approximately 12 days gestation in the primitive foregut and midgut, thus occurring significantly earlier than actual intestinal cytodifferentiation. NT/N is widely expressed in the gastrointestinal tract during fetal development, suggesting the presence of a shared ancestral stem cell; NT/N expression is then restricted to the small bowel of the adult. The determination of the cellular factors regulating the expression of NT/N will provide a better understanding of the mechanisms responsible for the strict patterning of gene expression in the gastrointestinal tract and possibly gut differentiation.
