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

We demonstrated the presence of sigma(2) receptors in the guinea-pig ileum by saturation analysis and extended our investigation to guinea-pig bladder and rat bladder. In functional assays of the isolated tissues in organ baths, sigma(2) receptor ligands inhibited electrically evoked contractions in both guinea-pig bladder and ileum and a linear correlation was found between sigma(2) receptor affinity and sigma(2) receptor activity values of selected compounds. The sigma(2) activity of these compounds in the presence of desensitised sigma(1) receptors both in bladder and ileum was also tested. On the basis of our results, we propose the electrically stimulated guinea-pig bladder as a new method for evaluating sigma(2) activity.
