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

In the present review article, we present an overview of beta-adrenoceptor (β-AR) subtype expression at the mRNA and receptor protein levels in the human detrusor, the in vitro and in vivo bladder function of the β3-AR, the in vivo effect of β3-AR agonists on detrusor overactivity in animal models, and the available results of clinical trials of β3-AR agonists for treating overactive bladder (OAB). There is a predominant expression of β3-AR mRNA in human bladder, constituting 97% of total β-AR mRNA. Also, functionally, the relaxant response of human detrusor to catecholamines is mainly mediated through the β3-ARs. Moreover, the presence of β1-, β2-, and β3-AR mRNAs in the urothelium and suburothelial layer of human bladder has been identified. Stimulation of urothelial β-ARs results in the release of nitric oxide and an unknown substance inhibiting detrusor contractions from the urothelium. Intravenous application of CL316,243, a selective β3-AR agonist, in rats selectively inhibits mechano-sensitive Aδ-fiber activity of the primary bladder afferents. A number of selective β3-AR agonists are currently being evaluated in clinical trials for OAB with promising preliminary results. In conclusion, the β3-AR agonists are the most notable alternative class of agents to antimuscarinics in the pharmacological treatment of OAB. The β3-AR agonists act to facilitate bladder storage function probably through at least two mechanisms: first, direct inhibition of the detrusor, and second, inhibition of bladder afferent neurotransduction.
