Review in Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's archives of pharmacology, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01657409 (Comparison of the Therapeutic Effects of Different Injection Number of the Same Dose of Botulinum Toxin A on Overactive Bladder Syndrome), which is not on this map. Cited by 67 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

The transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily 1 (TRPV1) is an ion channel activated by capsaicin, heat, protons and endogenous ligands such as anandamide. It is largely expressed in the urinary tract of mammals. Structures in which the receptor expression is firmly established include sensory fibers and urothelial cells, although the presence of TRPV1 in other cell types has been reported. As in other systems, pain perception was the first role attributed to TRPV1 in the urinary tract. However, it is now increasingly clear that TRPV1 also regulates the frequency of bladder reflex contractions, either through direct excitation of sensory fibers or through urothelial-sensory fiber cross talk involving the release of neuromediators from the epithelial cells. In addition, the recent identification of the receptor in urothelial and prostatic cancer cells raise the exciting hypothesis that TRPV1 is involved in cell differentiation. Desensitization of the receptor by capsaicin and resiniferatoxin has been investigated for therapeutic purposes. For the moment, lower urinary tract dysfunctions in which some benefit was obtained include painful bladder syndrome and overactive bladder of neurogenic and non-neurogenic origin. However, desensitization may become obsolete when non-toxic, potent TRPV1 antagonists become available.
