Fesoterodine.
Review in Drugs, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
black triangle Fesoterodine is a muscarinic receptor antagonist that is rapidly and extensively converted to the active and more potent metabolite 5-hydroxymethyltolterodine. The drug is approved for once-daily oral administration in patients with overactive bladder syndrome (OAB). black triangle In two large, 12-week, randomized, double-blind, multicentre, phase III trials, oral fesoterodine 4 or 8 mg once daily improved the symptoms of OAB (frequency of micturition, urgency and urge incontinence) significantly more than placebo. black triangle Furthermore, significantly more patients receiving fesoterodine 4 or 8 mg once daily had a positive response to therapy than those receiving placebo, as determined by a treatment questionnaire. black triangle Health-related quality of life was improved to a significantly greater extent in patients with OAB who received fesoterodine 4 or 8 mg once daily than in those who received placebo in a post hoc analysis of pooled data from the phase III trials. black triangle Fesoterodine 4 or 8 mg once daily was generally well tolerated in patients with OAB; the most frequent adverse event was dry mouth, which was generally mild to moderate in severity.
