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.
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
backgroundThe prevailing paradigm for the etiology of irritable bowel syndrome is that transient noxious events lead to long-lasting sensitization of the neural pain circuit, despite complete resolution of the initiating event. In this study, we tested the hypotheses that (1) the combination of maternal separation (MS) and previous colorectal inflammation induces extensive visceral hypersensitivity in rats and (2) visceral hypersensitivity induced by maternal separation and previous colorectal inflammation in rats is mediated via the corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor-1 (CRH-R1) pathway.
methodsMale rat pups were separated from their dams from postnatal day 2 to postnatal day 21. Acute colitis was induced by colorectal administration of trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) or vehicle on postnatal day 8. On postnatal day 50, the visceromotor response was evaluated by electromyography of the abdominal muscle in response to graded (10-80 mmHg) and phasic colorectal distention (CRD) one time. The same experiments were repeated after administration of the selective CRH-R1 antagonist CP-154,526 (20 mg/kg) or vehicle at 45 min before CRD.
resultsCompared with control rats, visceral perception was increased in MS + TNBS rats. MS + TNBS rats showed a significantly larger visceromotor response to phasic CRD with 40 mmHg, 60 mmHg, and 80 mmHg. Compared with vehicle administration in MS + TNBS rats, administration of CP-154,526 significantly attenuated this visceromotor response to CRD with 40 mmHg, 60 mmHg, and 80 mmHg.
conclusionsThese findings suggest that the combination of previous colitis and early life stress induce visceral hypersensitivity, and that the CRH-R1 pathway may play a role in this sensitization.
