Sexual dimorphic impacts of systemic vincristine on lower urinary tract function.
Article in Scientific reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Vincristine (VCR) is one of the most common chemotherapy agents used in pediatric oncology. Despite the well-known VCR-induced peripheral neuropathy, potential impacts of VCR on lower urinary tract (LUT) function remain poorly defined. We investigated the effects of systemic VCR exposure in childhood on LUT function by using juvenile mice treated with VCR (4 mg/kg) or saline and evaluated at 5 weeks later. VCR induced a decreased urinary frequency with increased functional bladder capacity and non-void contractions. There were no changes in detrusor contractility between the groups. VCR exposure caused sexual dimorphic changes; in females, increased intravesical pressure at micturition and downregulations of a major player in bladder afferent firing, Htr3b, in the bladders, and Cav1.2 in the lumbosacral dorsal root ganglia (Ls-DRG), while male mice displayed increases in bladder compliance and detrusor activity, upregulations of IL-2, Trpa1 and Itga1 in the bladders and neuroinflammation-related genes, P2×4, P2×7, IL-2 and CD68 in the Ls-DRG. These results suggest that that systemic VCR exposure caused sensory neuropathy via sex-dimorphic mechanisms, leading to altered LUT function. These changes might clinically present as gender-specific signs or symptoms of LUT dysfunction, and follow-up urological assessment may be of benefit for pediatric cancer patients treated with VCR.
