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

Prior studies have shown that partial outlet obstruction of the rabbit bladder causes a progressive increase in bladder mass, a progressive decrease in the contractile response to different forms of stimulation, and a selective decrease in the activity of mitochondrial enzymes. In this investigation the contractile responses to field stimulation and bethanechol were directly correlated with the activity of citrate synthase as a function of both the duration of obstruction and the bladder mass. Partial bladder outlet obstruction was surgically induced in twenty New Zealand White rabbits. The bladders were then rapidly excised at 30, 40, 90, 105 or 150 days post obstruction. The contractile responses to field stimulation (32 Hz) and bethanechol (250 microM) were determined. The remainder of the bladders were frozen and used for citrate synthase activity determinations. The data were grouped for analysis both by the duration of obstruction and by the bladder mass. Chronic partial outlet obstruction caused a parallel decline in the activity of citrate synthase and in the response of the obstructed tissue to stimulation.
