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

objectiveTo determine the safety and tolerability of intravesical resiniferatoxin (RTX) in interstitial cystitis (IC) patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsIC patients were instilled with 50 cc of test solution containing either placebo, 0.05 microM or 0.10 microM RTX in the bladder. Plasma concentration of RTX and its degradant resiniferonol 9-, 13-, 14-orthophenylacetate was measured. Immediate post-treatment blood sampling and cystoscopy were performed. Symptoms were evaluated before treatment, at 4- and at 12-week follow-ups, using VAS indicator for pain, voiding diary, and O'Leary's IC symptom/problem indices.

resultsAmong 22 patients observed (ten in 0.10 microM RTX, eight in 0.05 microM RTX, and four in placebo groups), the most commonly reported adverse event was pain during instillation (80.0%, 87.5%, and 25.0%). No serious adverse events were reported.

conclusionsUse of intravesical RTX in IC patients is associated with important tolerability issues but safe at 0.10 microM and 0.05 microM.
