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

Hirschsprung disease (HD) is the most prevalent congenital gastrointestinal motility disorder. The pathogenesis of HD is defined as a functional intestinal obstruction resulting from a defect in the intrinsic innervation of the distal bowel. In addition to the enteric nervous system, the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) play an important role in the generation of coordinated gastrointestinal peristalsis. The major function of the ICCs is the generation of slow waves that allow these cells to act as specialised pacemaker cells within various tissues. ICCs have additional functions in the gastrointestinal tract as regulators of mechanical activity and neurotransmission. Due to the central role of ICCs in gastrointestinal peristalsis, it has been suggested that defects or impairments of the ICCs may contribute to motility dysfunction in several gastrointestinal motility disorders. This review describes the distribution and functions of ICCs in the normal gut and in Hirschsprung disease.
