5-hydroxytryptamine induced relaxation in the pig urinary bladder neck.
Article in British journal of pharmacology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
background and purpose5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is one of the inhibitory mediators in the urinary bladder outlet region. Here we investigated mechanisms involved in 5-HT-induced relaxations of the pig bladder neck. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Urothelium-denuded strips of pig bladder were mounted in organ baths for isometric force recordings of responses to 5-HT and electrical field stimulation (EFS). KEY
resultsAfter phenylephrine-induced contraction, 5-HT and 5-HT receptor agonists concentration-dependently relaxed the preparations, with the potency order: 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) > 5-HT = RS67333 > (+/-)-8-hydroxy-2-dipropylaminotetralinhydrobromide > m-chlorophenylbiguanide > alpha-methyl-5-HT > ergotamine. 5-HT and 5-CT relaxations were reduced by the 5-HT(7) receptor antagonist (2R)-1-[(3-hydroxyphenyl)sulphonyl]-2-[2-(4-methyl-1-piperidinyl)ethyl]pyrrolidine hydrochloride and potentiated by (S)-N-tert-butyl-3-(4-(2-methoxyphenyl)-piperazin-1-yl)-2-phenylpropanamide dihydrochloride (WAY 100135) and cyanopindolol, 5-HT(1A) and 5-HT(1A/1B) receptor antagonists respectively. Inhibitors of 5-HT(1B/1D), 5-HT(2), 5-HT(2B/2C), 5-HT(3), 5-HT(4), 5-HT(5A) and 5-HT(6) receptors failed to modify 5-HT responses. Blockade of monoamine oxidase A/B, noradrenergic neurotransmission, alpha-adrenoceptors, muscarinic and purinergic receptors, nitric oxide synthase, guanylate cyclase and prostanoid synthesis did not alter relaxations to 5-HT. Inhibitors of Ca(2+)-activated K(+) and ATP-dependent K(+) channels failed to modify 5-HT responses but blockade of neuronal voltage-gated Na(+)-, Ca(2+)- and voltage-gated K(+) (K(v))-channels potentiated these relaxations. Adenylyl cyclase activation and cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) inhibition potentiated and reduced, respectively, 5-HT-induced responses. Under non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic, non-nitrergic conditions, EFS induced neurogenic, frequency-dependent, relaxations which were resistant to WAY 100135 and cyanopindolol. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: 5-HT relaxed the pig urinary bladder neck through muscle 5-HT(7) receptors linked to the cAMP-PKA pathway. Prejunctional 5-HT(1A) receptors and K(v) channels modulated 5-HT-induced relaxations whereas postjunctional K(+) channels were not involved in such responses. 5-HT(7) receptor antagonists could be useful in the therapy of urinary incontinence produced by intrinsic sphincter deficiency.
