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 contribution of mast cells to colon-bladder cross organ sensitization induced by colon irritation with trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS-CI). In urethane anesthetized rats 12 days after TNBS-CI, the voiding interval was reduced from 357 s to 201 s and urothelial permeability, measured indirectly by absorption of sodium fluorescein from the bladder lumen, increased six-fold. These effects were blocked by oral administration of ketotifen (10 mg/kg, for 5 days), a mast cell stabilizing agent. TNBS-CI in wild type mice produced a similar decrease in voiding interval (from 319 s to 209 s) and a 10-fold increase in urothelial permeability; however this did not occur in KitªWª/KitªW-vª mast cell deficient mice. Contractile responses of bladder strips elicited by Compound 48/80 (50 μg/ml), a mast cell activating agent, were significantly larger in strips from rats with TNBS-CI (145% increase in baseline tension) than in control rats (55% increase). The contractions of strips from rats with TNBS-CI were reduced 80-90% by pretreatment of strips with ketotifen (20 μM), whereas contractions of strips from control animals were not significantly changed. Bladder strips were pretreated with SLIGRL-NH2 (100 μM) to desensitize PAR-2, the receptor for mast cell tryptase. SLIGRL-NH2 pretreatment reduced by 60-80% the 48/80 induced contractions in strips from rats with TNBS-CI but did not alter the contractions in strips from control rats. These data indicate that bladder mast cells contribute to the bladder dysfunction following colon-bladder cross-sensitization.
