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

Neurotrophic factors and reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulate neuronal plasticity. In a model of a lower motor neuron lesioned bladder, somatic nerve transfer was used as a reinnervation strategy. Levels of neurotrophins, ROS, and TNF-α in bladder mucosa and muscle layers collected from three groups of adult female dogs: (1) Decentralized, via bilateral transection of coccygeal and sacral spinal roots, lumbar 7 dorsal roots, and hypogastric nerves, then 6-21 mo recovery; (2) reinnervated (ObNT-Reinn), after similar decentralization for 12 mo, then bilateral obturator-to-vesical nerve transfer and 8-12 mo recovery; and (3) Controls. In mucosa, BDNF and ROS levels were highest in ObNT-Reinn bladders, GDNF and TNF-α levels were restored to Control levels in ObNT-Reinn bladders (lowest in Decentralized). NT-3 and ARTN were lower in ObNT-Reinn and Decentralized bladders versus Controls. In muscle, ROS was lower in ObNT-Reinn muscle versus Controls. BDNF mucosa levels correlated with bladder axonal density and detrusor layer thickness; and GDNF mucosal correlated with bladder contraction after vesical or transferred obturator nerve electrical stimulation, as did BDNF and GDNF muscle levels. The increased BDNF and GDNF in bladders that underwent somatic nerve transfer with subsequent recovery suggest that BDNF and GDNF may help promote the reestablishment of bladder innervation.
