Tadalafil ameliorates bladder overactivity by restoring insulin-activated detrusor relaxation via the bladder mucosal IRS/PI3K/AKT/eNOS pathway in fructose-fed rats.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
The pathophysiologies of metabolic syndrome (MS) and overactive bladder (OAB) might overlap. Using fructose-fed rats (FFRs) as a rodent model of MS we investigated the effects of tadalafil (a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor) on the dysregulated insulin signalling in the bladder mucosa and bladder overactivity. Micturition behaviour was evaluated. Concentration-response curves on detrusor relaxation to insulin stimulation were examined. Expression and phosphorylation of proteins in the insulin signalling pathway were evaluated by Western blotting. Levels of detrusor cGMP and urinary nitrite and nitrate (NOx) were measured. We observed FFRs exhibited metabolic traits of MS, bladder overactivity, and impaired insulin-activated detrusor relaxation in organ bath study. A high-fructose diet also impeded insulin signalling, reflected by overexpression of IRS1/pIRS1
