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

introduction and hypothesisSDF-1 chemokine enhances tissue regeneration through stem cell chemotaxis, neovascularization and neuronal regeneration. We hypothesized that non-viral delivery of human plasmids that express SDF-1 (pSDF-1) may represent a novel regenerative therapy for stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

methodsSeventy-six female rats underwent vaginal distention (VD). They were then divided into four groups according to treatment: pSDF-1 (n = 42), sham (n = 30), PBS (n = 1) and luciferase-tagged pSDF-1 (n = 3). Immediately after VD, the pSDF-1 group underwent immediate periurethral injection of pSDF-1, and the sham group received a vehicle injection followed by leak point pressure (LPP) measurement at the 4th, 7th and 14th days. Urogenital tissues were collected for histology. H&E and trichrome slides were analyzed for vascularity and collagen/muscle components of the sphincter. For the luciferase-tagged pSDF-1 group, bioluminescence scans (BLIs) were obtained on the 3rd, 7th and 14th days following injections. Statistical analysis was conducted using ANOVA with post hoc LSD tests. The Mann-Whitney U test was employed to make pair-wise comparisons between the treated and sham groups. We used IBM SPSS, version 22, for statistical analyses.

resultsBLI showed high expression of luciferase-tagged pSDF-1 in the pelvic area over time. VD resulted in a decline of LPP at the 4th day in both groups. The pSDF1-treated group demonstrated accelerated recovery that was significantly higher than that of the sham-treated group at the 7th day (22.64 cmH

conclusionsPeriurethral injection of pSDF-1 after simulated childbirth accelerated the recovery of continence and regeneration of the urethral sphincter in a rat SUI model. This intervention can potentially be translated to the treatment of post-partum urinary incontinence.
