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

An understanding of muscarinic receptors is tantamount to an understanding of overactive bladder. The M(3) muscarinic receptor subtype is responsible for detrusor smooth muscle contraction and it exerts an exocrine function in the salivary glands. Alterations in the receptor's response to acetylcholine as a result of injury may lead to hypersensitivity and overactivity. The M(2) receptor subtype, which is mainly responsible for cardiac function, is the muscarinic receptor of highest proportion in the detrusor. M(2) also may play a role in detrusor contraction in injury and pathologic states. Muscarinic antagonists are the mainstay of pharmacotherapy for overactive bladder, but those that are available are not tissue specific. Growing knowledge of the nuances of receptor-ligand behavior and interaction between muscarinic receptors subtypes may provide novel targets for future drug development, improve efficacy, and reduce bothersome side effects.
