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

aimsDuring postnatal development large amplitude spontaneous activity of the neonatal rat bladder changes to a low amplitude adult pattern of activity that leads to improved storage function. Previously, we have shown that spontaneous activity in neonatal rat bladder strips is inhibited by activation of the nitric oxide (NO)-cGMP signaling pathway. In the present experiments we determined if this inhibitory pathway is altered during postnatal development or spinal cord injury.

methodsBaseline tone and amplitude and frequency of spontaneous contractions were measured in bladder strips from male or female neonatal (days 10-21), juvenile (days 24-39) and adult female spinal cord intact or chronic spinal cord injured Sprague-Dawley rats.

resultsThe inhibitory effects of an NO donor (SNAP) and a PDE-5 inhibitor (zaprinast) on spontaneous activity of bladder strips decreased during postnatal development, while an inhibitory effect of 8-bromo-cGMP, which was blocked by a protein kinase G inhibitor, was detected at all ages tested. However, the effect of NO-cGMP signaling to reduce baseline tone emerged during postnatal development. The inhibition induced by the NO donor was blocked by an inhibitor of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC). Chronic spinal cord injury (cSCI), which causes the re-emergence of a neonatal-like pattern of spontaneous activity, did not restore sensitivity to NO-mediated inhibition in adult rat bladders.

conclusionsThese data indicate that while cGMP signaling inhibits activity in young and adult bladders as well as after cSCI, there is a developmental decrease in the sensitivity of bladder to NO-mediated inhibition.
