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

backgroundBladder dysfunction is an important symptom of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Our previous study showed that EAE-induced upregulation of the E-prostanoid receptor 3 (EP3) and E-prostanoid receptor 4 (EP4) in the bladder was accompanied by bladder dysfunction. Although many other studies have evaluated the lower urinary tract symptoms in multiple sclerosis, the mechanism remains unclear.

objectivesTo investigate the effects of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) on bladder dysfunction in a novel neurogenic bladder model induced by experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe EAE model was induced by a previously established method, and bladder functions in mice were evaluated. Bladders were harvested for the analysis of ICCs and the genes associated with bladder mechanosensation including pannexin 1 (Panx1) and Gja1 (encoding connexin43) by immunofluorescence and western blotting. The stem cell factor cytokine (SCF) was intraperitoneally injected at the beginning of EAE onset.

resultsEAE mice developed profound bladder dysfunction characterized by significant urine retention, increased micturition and decreased urine output per micturition. EAE induced a significant decrease in c-Kit expression and ICCs number. EAE also induced a significant increase in pannexin 1 and connexin43. SCF treatment could ameliorate all of these pathological changes.

conclusionsICCs and stem cell factor play an important role in EAE-induced bladder dysfunction, which may be used as therapeutic options in treating patients with multiple sclerosis-related bladder dysfunction.
