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

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been the primary tool in human research for studying and advancing our understanding of neural control of the bladder. Although the current working model identifies several brain regions involved in bladder storage, there are unknowns regarding the full extent of collaboration among these regions. This study analyzes the changes in the resting state functional connectivity (rsFC) network involving regions of the brain, brainstem, and cerebellum in healthy adults with respect to conventional pairwise rsFC and four rsFC global network statistics. Healthy adult males and females (n=15), ages 22-33, were asked to consume 472-750 mL of water, empty their bladder, and enter the fMRI scanner, after which the "control" resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) scans were obtained. Participants remained in the scanner until they indicated a feeling of strong desire to void, or until 10 min had elapsed, at which point "strong desire to void" rs-fMRI scans were acquired. Functional connectivity (FC) analysis was performed using 19
