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

purposeThe aim of this study was to assess the various doses of oral oxybutynin on cardiac autonomic modulation by measuring short-term heart rate variability (HRV) indexes during supine rest position.

methodsEight male healthy subjects (20-23 years) participated in the double-blind crossover randomized study. The single dose of oxybutynin (2.5, 5 and 10 mg) or placebo was given to the volunteers in four sessions within 5-day intervals. Before and minutes of 30, 60, 90 and 120 after administration, lead II electrocardiogram (ECG) was recorded for 5 min. ECG extracted RR intervals data became the base of the calculation of time domain and frequency domain HRV parameters, which indicate cardiac autonomic activity. Statistical analysis was done by using the nonparametric Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis tests.

resultsThe data analysis has revealed that MNN (P < 0.001), SDNN (P < 0.05), PNN50% (P < 0.01), RMSSD (P < 0.001), HFnu (P < 0.05) and LF/HF ratio (P < 0.05) values were significantly increased relative to baseline at various time points in all the groups except in placebo group. LFnu (P < 0.05) values were significantly increased relative to baseline at various time points in all the groups except in placebo group.

conclusionsOur findings have revealed that acute consumption of 2.5, 5 and 10 mg oxybutynin (an anticholinergic compound) in the juvenile healthy male subjects produces a cholinergic effect according to time and frequency domain of HRV indexes.
