Review in Current urology reports, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.

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

Antimuscarinic drugs commonly used to treat overactive bladder are often associated with central nervous system (CNS) side effects including cognitive dysfunction, memory impairment, dizziness, fatigue, and headache. New agents show reduced CNS penetrance and better selectivity for the M3 muscarinic receptor. However, changes associated with aging may lead to alterations in blood-brain barrier permeability. Therefore, use of antimuscarinics in the elderly or in patients with Alzheimer's disease presents a significant challenge. This review highlights muscarinic receptor distribution and function in the CNS, provides a description and incidence of CNS side effects with therapy, offers information specific to currently available agents, and describes the use of antimuscarinics in special populations including children, the elderly, and patients with Alzheimer's disease.
