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
backgroundThe involvement of the vagus nerve in the supraspinal neural circuits that control the urinary bladder function, especially during pathological conditions, became increasingly evident. However, the role of brainstem areas in these circuits is not studied yet.
methodsIn the present study, using c-fos immunohistochemistry, the roles of the vagus nerve to the responses of the reticular formation to cystometry in cyclophosphamide-treated rats were investigated.
resultsCyclophosphamide treatment significantly increased the c-fos expression in the lateral reticular nucleus (LRt), lateral paragigantocellular nucleus (LPGi), caudal part of the ventrolateral reticular nucleus (CVL), and gigantocellular reticular nucleus (Gi) following cystometry. However, cyclophosphamide treatment didn't have significant effect on c-fos expression in ventrolateral reticular nucleus (VL), rostral part of VL (RVL), raphe pallidus nucleus (RPa), and raphe obscurus nucleus (Rob). Vagotomy significantly demolished the effect of cyclophosphamide in the LRt and LPGi areas without having any significant effect on other reticular formation areas. Whereas, in comparison to normal animals, the vagotomised animals didn't show any significant changes in c-fos expression.
conclusionThe results of this study demonstrate the involvement of the reticular formation areas, particularly the ventral part, in processing urinary bladder function under cystitis condition. It also demonstrates the contribution of the vagus nerve in these processes.
