The inhibitory effect of sacral dorsal root ganglion stimulation on nociceptive and nonnociceptive bladder reflexes in cats.
Article in World journal of urology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
purposeTo investigate the inhibitory effects of electrical stimulation of sacral dorsal root ganglion (DRG) on bladder activity under non-nociceptive and nociceptive bladder conditions in cats. MATERIALS AND
methods12 cats were divided into non-nociceptive and nociceptive groups. Saline was used to distend the bladder and induce non-nociceptive bladder activity, while acetic acid (AA, 0.25%) was used to induce nociceptive bladder overactivity, S1 or S2 DRG stimulation was applied via a pair of hook electrodes placed in the right S1 and S2 DRG.
resultsIn both non-nociceptive and nociceptive groups, stimulation at 3 and 5 Hz significantly increased bladder capacity (BC) and no significantly different between the two frequencies. In non-nociceptive group, S1 DRG stimulation at 3 Hz was as effective (increasing BC to 139.7 ± 5.6 and 166.9 ± 12.21% of control at 1T and 3/2T, respectively) as S2 DRG stimulation (increases BC to 129.2 ± 5.6 and 160.5 ± 13.3% of control). In nociceptive group, AA reduced the BC to 62.6 ± 11.7% of saline control. S1 DRG stimulation at 3 Hz was also as effective (increasing BC to 54.9 ± 5.5 and 61.9 ± 6.0% of saline control at 1T and 3/2T, respectively) as S2 DRG stimulation (increases BC to 58.3 ± 3.7 and 65.6 ± 3.7% of control).
conclusionThis study showed the effective inhibition on bladder activity under both non-nociceptive and nociceptive conditions, suggesting the possibility of sacral DRG stimulation to treat bladder overactivity.
