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

Conventional wisdom now agrees that symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) seem to emanate from an aberration in the voiding reflex, leading to involuntary detrusor contractions of either neurogenic or myogenic origin. Furthermore, emerging evidence also encourages us to adopt a new paradigm, in which bladder urothelium is not just a simple barrier but an active contributor to bladder function. In this paradigm, aberration in sensory mechanisms emanating from the urothelium can also contribute to OAB symptoms through altered excitability of afferents in the bladder leading to increased bladder sensation. The high density of muscarinic receptors expressed on urothelium can not only mediate release of urothelium-derived inhibitory factor, but can also be seen as an alternative site of action for antimuscarinic drugs. Urothelium also expresses a host of other receptors such as TRPV1 and TRPM8, whose functional role is yet to be confirmed.
