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

purposeVGLUTs, which are essential for loading glutamate into synaptic vesicles, are present in various neuronal systems. However, to our knowledge the expression of VGLUTs in neurons innervating the bladder has not yet been analyzed. We studied VGLUT1, VGLUT2 and VGLUT3 in mouse bladder neurons. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe analyzed the expression of VGLUT1, VGLUT2 and calcitonin gene-related peptide by immunohistochemistry in the retrograde labeled primary afferent and autonomic neurons of BALB/c mice after injecting fast blue in the bladder wall. To study VGLUT3 we traced the bladder of transgenic mice, in which VGLUT3 is identified by enhanced green fluorescent protein detection.

resultsMost bladder dorsal root ganglion neurons expressed VGLUT2. A smaller percentage of neurons also expressed VGLUT1 or VGLUT3. Co-expression with calcitonin gene-related peptide was only observed for VGLUT2. Occasional VGLUT2 immunoreactive neurons were seen in the major pelvic ganglia. Abundant VGLUT2 immunoreactive nerves were detected in the bladder dome and trigone, and the urethra. VGLUT1 immunoreactive nerves were discretely present.

conclusionsWe present what are to our knowledge novel data on VGLUT expression in sensory and autonomic neurons innervating the mouse bladder. The frequent association of VGLUT2 and calcitonin gene-related peptide in sensory neurons suggests interactions between glutamatergic and peptidergic neurotransmissions, potentially influencing commonly perceived sensations in the bladder, such as discomfort and pain.
