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

Muscarinic receptors (mAChRs) have been identified in the urothelium, a tissue that may be involved in bladder sensory mechanisms. This study investigates the expression and function of mAChRs using cultured urothelial cells from the rat. RT-PCR established the expression of all five mAChR subtypes. Muscarinic agonists acetylcholine (ACh; 10 microM), muscarine (Musc; 20 microM), and oxotremorine methiodide (OxoM; 0.001-20 microM) elicited transient repeatable increases in the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in approximately 50% of cells. These effects were blocked by the mAChR antagonist atropine methyl nitrate (10 microM). The sources of [Ca(2+)](i) changes included influx from external milieu in 63% of cells and influx from external milieu plus release from internal stores in 27% of cells. The use of specific agonists and antagonists (10 microM M(1) agonist McN-A-343; 10 microM M(2), M(3) antagonists AF-DX 116, 4-DAMP) revealed that M(1), M(2), M(3) subtypes were involved in [Ca(2+)](i) changes. The PLC inhibitor U-73122 (10 microM) abolished OxoM-elicited Ca(2+) responses in the presence of the M(2) antagonist AF-DX 116, suggesting that M(1), M(3), or M(5) mediates [Ca(2+)](i) increases via PLC pathway. ACh (0.1 microM), Musc (10 microM), oxotremorine sesquifumarate (20 microM), and McN-A-343 (1 muM) acting on M(1), M(2), and M(3) mAChR subtypes stimulated ATP release from cultured urothelial cells. In summary, cultured urothelial cells express functional M(1), M(2), and M(3) mAChR subtypes whose activation results in ATP release, possibly through mechanisms involving [Ca(2+)](i) changes.
