Adenosine Receptor Mechanisms Underlying Bladder Dysfunction in Male Rats With Bladder Outlet Obstruction.

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
aimsWe examined the role of subtypes of adenosine receptors in bladder dysfunction and changes in the adenosine receptor expression in the bladder using male rats with partial bladder outlet obstruction (BOO).
methodsIn Sprague-Dawley rats (male 8-weeks old), BOO was produced by a partial ligation of the urethra along a metal rod of a 1.2 mm outer diameter. Control rats underwent sham operation. Awake cystometrograms (CMG) were first recorded during saline instillation, and then an adenosine A1 receptor agonist (CCPA, 4.1 μM), an adenosine A2A antagonist (ZM241385, 15 μM), or inosine (1 mM) were applied intravesically in sham and BOO rats. In addition, mRNA levels of adenosine receptor subtypes in the bladder wall were measured using RT-PCR. Histological studies of bladder specimen were also performed.
resultsWeights of BOO bladders were significantly (p < 0.0001) larger compared with sham bladders. In CMG, a number of non-voiding contractions (NVCs), bladder contraction amplitudes during voiding, bladder capacity, and post-void residual (PVR) were significantly (p < 0.001) increased compared with sham rats. Voiding efficiency (VE) was significantly (p < 0.001) reduced in BOO versus sham rats. Intravesical application of CCPA or inosine did not induce statistically significant effects on CMG parameters in BOO rats. Yet, ZM241385 induced a significant (p = 0.040) reduction in NVCs of BOO rats. mRNA levels of adenosine A2A and A3 receptors were significantly (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.0145, respectively) upregulated in the BOO bladder mucosa, whereas adenosine A2B receptors showed a significant (p < 0.0001) reduction in the BOO bladder mucosa compared with sham bladders. Histologically, we found the thickened detrusor muscle layer in BOO versus sham rats.
conclusionsThe male rat model of BOO seems to be suitable for exploring urethral obstruction-related bladder dysfunction at the compensated phase. In addition, the adenosine A2A receptor subtype would be a potential target for the treatment of male BOO patients with bladder overactivity. CLINICAL
