Evaluating vibegron for the treatment of overactive bladder.
Review in Expert opinion on pharmacotherapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
introductionVibegron is a very selective new β3-adrenergic receptor agonist introduced recently to clinical practice for OAB patients, which offers an alternative option for to antimuscarinic drugs. AREAS COVERED: This review presents the current knowledge concerning the mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of vibegron. Moreover, it presents an overview of preclinical and phase II and phase III clinical studies on the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of this agent in patients suffering from OAB. EXPERT OPINION: Clinical studies confirmed efficacy and safety of vibegron in OAB patients. Vibegron differ from well-known mirabegron with regards to its pharmacological profile because it is metabolized independently from CYP3A4, 2D6, or 2C9 and therefore is less likely to cause a drug-drug interaction. Moreover, since this drug does not penetrate the blood-brain barrier, it could become the drug of choice in OAB patients with cognitive impairment. These properties have paved the way in near future for better-tailored treatments for OAB patients.
