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

objectiveWe have demonstrated that phenylephrine (PE) activates the capsaicin-sensitive nerves, and then activates capsaicin-sensitive nerves to release an unknown substance that facilitates the release of norepinephrine (NE) from adrenergic nerves. Subsequently, NE stimulates β-ARs in the detrusor muscle in mice, leading to neurogenic relaxation of the urinary bladder (UB). MATERIALS AND

methodsWe examined if there existed sensory-motor dysfunction in UB of aging mice. To investigate the change of PE-induced detrusor relaxation in aging male-C57BL/6 mice (12- vs. 24-month-old mice), UB strips from mice were isolated, cut into strips, and mounted in the organ bath.

resultsThe UB strip contractility responding to various agents was estimated using tissue bath wire myography. Acetylcholine (ACh) and KCl-induced UB strips contraction was not significantly different between 24- and 12-month mice. NE-induced UB strips relaxation was significantly lower in 24-month than 12-month mice. Denuded bladder strips showed similar decreased relaxation response to NE. This NE-induced relaxation was inhibited by silodosin and lidocaine. PE did not induce contraction in UB strips of aging mice. In contrast, PE-induced relaxation was weaker in 24-month than 12-month mice.

conclusionOur results suggested that the PE-induced relaxation was age related. Aging seemed to lead the sensory-motor dysfunction. More animal and human studies are required to prove this concept and its clinical usefulness in the future.
