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 hypothesisAntimuscarinic agents appear to exert their therapeutic activity in overactive bladder (OAB) via blockade of the M(3) muscarinic receptor subtype. Antimuscarinics are broadly similar in efficacy, but their safety and tolerability profiles vary, which may reflect differences in muscarinic receptor selectivity profiles.

methodsThis review of available literature aims to determine whether antimuscarinic agents with greater M(3) selectivity have clinical advantages over less selective drugs.

resultsAntimuscarinic agents differ widely in their propensity to cause cognitive and cardiovascular (CV) effects, which appear mainly to be related to differences in their relative selectivity for binding to non-M(3) receptors, including M(1) receptors in the brain and cardiac M(2) receptors.

conclusionsCognitive and CV effects are especially pertinent for the OAB patient who tends to be older with various comorbidities and is often taking multiple medications. Hence, it is important to consider the risk/benefit balance of antimuscarinic agents when selecting OAB treatment.
