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 (HSCR) is a congenital condition characterized by the improper migration of enteric neural crest cells, leading to aganglionosis most commonly in the rectosigmoid colon. This severe and life-threatening disorder often results in the development of Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis (HAEC), which can occur either before or after surgical resection of the affected bowel segment. Using colonic tissue from patients with HSCR alongside the well-established endothelin receptor B knockout mouse model, we investigated epithelial regeneration dynamics and stromal-epithelial cross-talk in the distal ganglionic colon, a critical site for HAEC development. In individuals with HSCR but without epithelial damage, the distal ganglionic colon displayed impaired epithelial regeneration and alteration of intestinal stem cell dynamics, characterized by the reduction of leucine-rich repeat-containing G protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5
