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

Abnormal mechanical function of the bladder is manifested in a number of ways including higher frequency of involuntary detrusor contractions associated with reduced compliance of the bladder that is responsible for an increase in intraluminal pressure during filling. There are basically two ways to approach experimentally these problems: (1) by studying the neural control of the lower urinary tract function, and (2) by measuring the properties of smooth muscle cells in the bladder wall. Studies on smooth muscle function often do not take the origin of smooth muscle cells into account i.e., whether they were harvested from normal or overactive bladders. Although, this simplistic view may be beneficial to understanding the generation of the spontaneous activity of the bladder, however, it does not sufficiently explain the cell-to-cell propagation of the spontaneous smooth muscle activity. The spontaneous activity of smooth muscle is an important factor that works against the bladder compliance in the filling phase, and may inversely affect the neurally evoked response during micturition. The intensity of spontaneous activity is the age-dependent; it is high in neonatal bladders it is small or almost non-existent in adults and reemerges in older bladders. This review focuses on these age-dependent alterations of spontaneous bladder contractions and describes the possible mechanisms which may have important role in regulating the spontaneous contractions using the rat as an animal model.
