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

NEW

findingsWhat is the central question of this study? Nerve growth factor (NGF) is reportedly a mediator inducing urinary bladder dysfunction. Is NGF directly involved in hyperexcitability of capsaicin-sensitive C-fibre bladder afferent pathways after spinal cord injury (SCI)? What is the main finding and its importance? Neutralization of NGF by anti-NGF antibody treatment reversed the SCI-induced increase in the number of action potentials and the reduction in spike thresholds and A-type K ABSTRACT: Nerve growth factor (NGF) has been implicated as an important mediator in the induction of C-fibre bladder afferent hyperexcitability, which contributes to the emergence of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction after spinal cord injury (SCI). In this study, we determined whether NGF immunoneutralization using an anti-NGF antibody (NGF-Ab) normalizes the SCI-induced changes in electrophysiological properties of capsaicin-sensitive C-fibre bladder afferent neurones in female C57BL/6 mice. The spinal cord was transected at the Th8/Th9 level. Two weeks later, continuous administration of NGF-Ab (10 μg kg
