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

The Hyperpolarization activated, cyclic nucleotide gated (HCN) channel is a candidate mediator of neuroendocrine influence over detrusor tonus during filling. In other tissues, HCN loss with aging is linked to declines in rhythmicity and function. We hypothesized that HCN has an age-sensitive expression profile and functional role in adrenergic bladder relaxation. HCN was examined in bladders from young (2-6 months) and old (18-24 months) C57BL/6 female mice, using qRT-PCR, RNAScope, and Western blots. Isometric tension studies were conducted using bladder strips from young wild-type (YWT), old wild-type (OWT), and young HCN1 knock-out (YKO) female mice to test the role HCN in effects of β-adrenergic stimulation. Hcn1 is the dominant HCN isoform RNA in the mouse bladder wall, and is diminished with age. Location of Hcn RNA within the mouse bladder wall is isoform-specific, with HCN1 limited to the detrusor layer. Passively-tensioned YWT bladder strips are relaxed by isoproterenol in the presence of HCN function, where OWT strips are relaxed only in the presence of HCN blockade. HCN has an age-specific expression and function in adrenergic detrusor relaxation in mouse bladder strips.
