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

introduction and hypothesisThis study aims to investigate the effects of simulated birth trauma and ovariectomy on detrusor muscarinic receptors (M2 and M3), urethral neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), and estrogen receptor beta (ER beta).

methodsForty primiparous rats were equally divided into five groups: group A--delivery, group B--delivery plus ovariectomy, group C--delivery plus balloon dilatation for 2 h, group D--delivery plus balloon dilatation for 4 h, and group E--delivery plus balloon dilatation for 2 h plus ovariectomy. The gene expression of M2, M3, nNOS, and ER beta were assessed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.

resultsSignificant decreases in mRNA expression of M2 receptors and nNOS (P < 0.05), and a significant increase in M3 mRNA expression (P < 0.05) were observed in groups D and E when compared with group A.

conclusionsOvariectomy following birth trauma may synergistically impact the function of urinary tract, this being possibly related to the modification of the gene expression of muscarinic receptors.
