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

introduction and hypothesisTo investigate changes in the expression and function of the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels, interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) were isolated from detrusor overactivity (DO) rats induced with partial bladder outlet obstruction (PBOO). We hypothesized that increased expression of HCN channels in ICCs would enhance the excitability of ICCs and bladder in DO rats.

methodsForty adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to control and DO groups. The expression of HCN isoforms in the rat bladders was detected using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Whole-cell patch-clamp techniques and laser confocal microscopy were used to explore the effects of the HCN channel blocker ZD7288 on Ih current and intracellular calcium levels ([Ca(2+)]i) in freshly isolated ICCs. The effect of ZD7288 on bladder contraction was evaluated using a bladder smooth muscle strip test.

resultsThe results of RT-PCR showed that HCN1-4 isoforms increased expression in the DO group compared with the control group. The current density of Ih in the bladder ICCs was increased. A moderate concentration of ZD7288 (50 μmol/L) significantly decreased the [Ca(2+)]i levels in freshly isolated ICCs from sham and DO bladders. The smooth strip tests indicated that ZD7288 (50 μmol/L) suppressed the amplitude of smooth muscle strip contractions in the sham and DO bladders.

conclusionsAll HCN channel isoforms were highly expressed in bladders from the DO group, which was correlated with increased Ih currents in DO ICCs, suggesting that the HCN channels might play an important role in the pathological processes of DO.
