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

This study examined the effect of age, ovariectomy and dietary phytoestrogen ingestion on adenosine A(2B) receptor mediated relaxant responses and mRNA expression of adenosine receptor subtypes in the rat isolated bladder. Female Wistar rats (8 weeks) were anaesthetised and the ovaries were removed (ovx) or left intact (sham). Rats were fed either normal rat chow (soy, phytoestrogens) or a non-soy (phytoestrogen free) diet. Isolated bladder from rats aged 12, 24 or 52 weeks were pre-contracted with 3 μM carbachol prior to a concentration response curve to 5'-(N-ethylcarboxamido) adenosine (NECA) being obtained. In 12-week-old rats, the bladder exhibited enhanced relaxant responses to NECA in soy-fed rats (P < 0.05), whilst at 24 weeks of age, the relaxant responses to NECA were attenuated in all the groups studied except soy-treated sham rat bladders in which the relaxant responses were enhanced. At 52 weeks of age, no relaxant effects were observed in any of the treatment groups and NECA-induced contractile responses occurred. In all bladders, the adenosine A(2B) receptor was the most abundantly expressed. In bladders from young and mature female rats, the mRNA expression of adenosine receptors (A(1), A(2A) and A(2B)) was lowest in the bladder from non-soy-fed ovariectomised animals and the use of phytoestrogens in the diet increased the mRNA expression of these receptors (P < 0.05). While a soy diet improves the relaxant effects to the adenosine analogue via adenosine A(2B) receptors in bladders from younger rats, the benefits are lost with advancing age.
