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

Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), which is primarily caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia, is a common chronic disease. However, previous studies have most commonly investigated BOO using the acute obstruction model. In the present study, a chronic obstruction model was established to investigate the different pathological alterations in the bladder between acute and chronic obstruction. Compared with chronic obstruction, acute obstruction led to increased expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen and interleukin‑1β, which are markers of proliferation and inflammation, respectively. Furthermore, increased fibrosis in the bladder at week 2 was observed. Low pressure promoted mice bladder smooth muscle cell (MBSMC) proliferation, and pressure overload inhibited cell proliferation and increased the proportion of dead MBSMCs. Further investigation using serum/glucocorticoid regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) small interfering RNAs indicated that low pressure may promote MBSMC proliferation by upregulating SGK1 and nuclear factor of activated T‑cell expression levels. Therefore, the present study suggested that acute obstruction led to faster decompensation of bladder function and chronic bladder obstruction displayed an enhanced ability to progress to BOO.
