Enteric glial S100B controls rhythmic colonic functions by regulating excitability and specificity in gut motor neurocircuits.

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
Patterns of gut motility, such as colonic motor complexes, are controlled by central pattern generators (CPG) in the enteric nervous system; however, the mechanisms that co-ordinate enteric neural networks underlying this behaviour remain unclear. Evidence from similar CPGs in the brain suggests that glia play key roles through mechanisms involving the S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100B). Enteric glia are abundant in enteric neural networks and engage in bi-directional interactions with neurons, but whether enteric glia shape enteric CPG behaviours through similar mechanisms remains unclear. Here, we show that S100B release by myenteric glia is necessary to sustain colonic motor complex behaviour in the gut. Calcium imaging experiments in whole mounts of myenteric plexus from Wnt1
