Excitatory and inhibitory effects of stimulation of sacral dorsal root ganglion on bladder reflex in cats.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 explore the effects of electrical stimulation of the sacral dorsal root ganglion (DRG) on bladder reflexes in α-chloralose-anesthetized cats.
methodsBladder activity was recorded under isovolumetric conditions. A pair of hook electrodes was placed in the right S1 and S2 DRGs of 12 adult male cats, which were stimulated over a range of frequencies (0.25-30 Hz) and at threshold intensity.
resultsStimulation of S1 and S2 DRGs inhibited or evoked bladder contractions under isovolumetric conditions depending on the frequency of stimulation in nine cats. Stimulation at low frequencies (3-7 Hz on S1 or S2 DRG) significantly inhibited isovolumetric rhythmic bladder contractions, while excitatory effects were observed at two frequency ranges, including lower frequencies (0.25-1.5 Hz on S1 DRG and 0.25-1.25 Hz on S2 DRG) and middle frequencies (15-30 Hz on S1 and S2 DRGs).
conclusionsThese results suggest that the sacral DRG might be a potential valuable target for electrical stimulation in the treatment of bladder dysfunction.
