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

backgroundDetrusor overactivity (DO) secondary to partial bladder outlet obstruction (PBOO) is closely associated with alteration of ion channels. The objective of this study is to investigate the expression of the TWIK-related arachidonic acid-activated K(+) channel (TRAAK) in the L6-S1 spinal cord of DO rats after PBOO.

methodsFemale Sprague-Dawley rats undergoing PBOO surgery were screened for DO by cystometry. Sham-operated rats served as controls. The expression of TRAAK in the L6-S1 spinal cord was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting and immunohistochemistry.

resultsDO was successfully induced after chronic PBOO in rats, with an incidence rate of 62.5 %. Compared with sham-operated rats, the expression of TRAAK in the L6-S1 spinal cord of DO rats was significantly increased at the mRNA (1.886 ± 0.710 versus 0.790 ± 0.679, P < 0.05) and protein level (0.510 ± 0.087 versus 0.255 ± 0.107, P < 0.05). Immunohistochemical staining showed increased expression of TRAAK in the dorsal horn and ventral horn of the spinal cord.

conclusionsUpregulation of TRAAK was observed in the spinal cord of DO rats after chronic PBOO, which may exert a protective effect against DO by suppressing the excitability of neurons.
