Abstract

Deranged intestinal motility, which occurs in cirrhosis, may facilitate the development of intestinal bacterial overgrowth (IBO), which can lead to bacterial translocation (BT). To assess the effect of cisapride on IBO and BT in cirrhosis, cirrhotic rats received cisapride or a placebo for 7 days, and measurements of jejunal bacterial content and BT studies were performed. In addition, jejunal fluid from 46 cirrhotic patients was obtained for quantitative bacterial culture. Those patients in whom gram-negative IBO was detected were randomized to receive or not to receive cisapride (20 mg twice per day) for 1 week. Cisapride significantly reduced IBO in cirrhotic rats. In addition, no BT was documented in treated animals, whereas it occurred in 40% in nontreated cirrhotic rats. Total IBO was documented in 23 of 46 cirrhotic patients, which was caused by gram-negative organisms in 10 cases. Orocecal transit time (OCT) significantly decreased after cisapride therapy, and was associated with the abolishment of bacterial overgrowth caused by gram-negative organisms in 4 out of 5 treated patients, whereas it persisted in nontreated cases. Cisapride administration to cirrhotic rats resulted in a reduction of the IBO, which is associated with a marked decrease in BT. On the other hand, cisapride facilitates the abolition of IBO caused by gram-negative organisms in cirrhotic patients.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Cisapride decreases intestinal transit time and inhibits intestinal bacterial overgrowth and bacterial translocation in animal models and cirrhosis patients.

    “The prokinetic drug cisapride not only decreases intestinal transit time but also inhibits intestinal bacterial overgrowth and bacterial translocation, both in animal models150,151 and in patients with cirrhosis150,152.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
