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

Surgical removal of approximately 70% of the bladder (subtotal cystectomy [STC]) was used as a model system to gain insight into the normal regenerative process in adult mammals in vivo. Female F344 rats underwent STC, and at 2, 4, and 8 weeks post-STC, bladder regeneration was monitored via microcomputed tomography scans, urodynamic (bladder function studies) pharmacologic studies, and immunohistochemistry. Computed tomography imaging revealed a time-dependent increase in bladder size at 2, 4, and 8 weeks post-STC, which positively correlated with restoration of bladder function. Bladders emptied completely at all time points studied. The maximal contractile response to pharmacological activation and electrical field stimulation increased over time in isolated tissue strips from regenerating bladders, but remained lower at all time points compared with strips from age-matched control bladders. Immunostaining of the bladder wall of STC rats suggested a role for progenitor cells and cellular proliferation in the regenerative response. Immunostaining and the presence of electrical field stimulation-induced contractile responses verified innervation of the regenerated bladder. These initial studies establish the utility of the present model system for studying de novo tissue regeneration in vivo and may provide guidance with respect to optimization of intrinsic regenerative capacity for clinical applications.
