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

Protein kinase C (PKC) and large conductance Ca(2+)-activated potassium channels (BK) are downregulated in the detrusor smooth muscle (DSM) in partial bladder outlet obstruction (PBOO). DSM from these bladders display increased spontaneous activity. This study examines the involvement of PKC in the regulation of spontaneous and evoked DSM contractions and whether pharmacologic inhibition of PKC in normal DSM contributes to increased detrusor excitability. Results indicate the PKC inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide 1 (Bim-1) prevented a decline in the amplitude of spontaneous DSM contractions over time in vitro, and these contractions persist in the presence of tetrodotoxin. Bim-1 also reduced the basal DSM tone, and the ability to maintain force in response to electrical field stimulation, but did not affect maximum contraction. The PKC activator phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) significantly reduced the amplitude and increased the frequency of spontaneous contractions at low concentrations (10 nM), while causing an increase in force at higher concentrations (1 μM). Preincubation of DSM strips with iberiotoxin prevented the inhibition of spontaneous contractions by PDBu. The BK channel openers isopimaric acid and NS1619 reduced the Bim-1-induced enhancement of spontaneous contractions in DSM strips. Our data suggest that PKC has a biphasic activation profile in the DSM and that it may play an important role in maintaining the quiescent state of the normal bladder during storage through the effects on BK channel, while helping to maintain force required for bladder emptying. The data also suggest that PKC dysfunction, as seen in PBOO, contributes to detrusor overactivity.
