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
purposeSubstance P (SP) is important in the physiological and pathophysiological functions of the bladder, including bladder sensory disorders like interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) and overactive bladder (OAB). However, the impact of SP on sensory function is not fully understood. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of SP on bladder function in relation to capsaicin, specifically on bladder afferent nerve activity.
methodsWe used female Sprague-Dawley rats. The in vitro organ bath study assessed SP-induced detrusor contraction in intact and inside-out preparations of isolated whole bladders. In vivo cystometry and multi-unit bladder afferent nerve activity were measured before and after intravesical SP-instillation. Immunohistochemistry was used to locate the neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1R), an SP receptor, and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), a capsaicin receptor, in the urinary bladder.
resultsThe organ bath study revealed that the intravesical pressure significantly increased in the intact preparation, but not in the inside-out preparation, by administering SP after capsaicin-desensitization. During intravesical SP-instillation, cystometric parameters remained unchanged, but bladder afferent nerve activities were significantly increased. Immunohistochemistry revealed that NK1R and TRPV1 were expressed differently throughout the bladder, but some of the expression was colocalized in the lamina propria.
conclusionSP caused detrusor contraction via the smooth muscle and increased bladder afferent activity via the urothelium. SP may influence such bladder function on its own rather than as a result of capsaicin exposure. These findings may shed new light on SP's pathophysiological roles and therapeutic strategies for IC/BPS and OAB.
