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

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is more prevalent among women who deliver vaginally than women who have had a cesarean section, suggesting that tissue repair after vaginal delivery is insufficient. A single dose of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been shown to partially restore urethral function in a model of SUI. The aim of the present study was to determine if increasing the number of doses of MSCs improves urethral and pudendal nerve function and anatomy. We hypothesized that increasing the number of MSC doses would accelerate recovery from SUI compared with vehicle treatment. Rats underwent pudendal nerve crush and vaginal distension or a sham injury and were treated intravenously with vehicle or one, two, or three doses of 2 × 10
