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

purposeThe β

methodsDetrusor and prostate tissues were obtained from radical cystectomy, radical prostatectomy and laser enucleation. Concentration response curves for agonists and frequence response curves for electric field stimulation (EFS) were examined in organ baths with 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10 µM vibegron or vehicle control.

resultsIn detrusor tissues, 10 µM vibegron reduced EFS-induced contractions by half, while no biologically relevant inhibitions occurred with lower concentrations or with carbachol- or methacholine-induced contractions. Pretensions before contractions were relaxed > 20% by 0.1-10 µM vibegron. EFS-induced contractions were halved by 10 µM vibegron in prostatectomized tissues, but unaffected by lower concentrations and in laser-enucleated prostate tissues. Additionally, 10 µM vibegron right-shifted concentration response curves and increased the EC

conclusionsSimilar to mirabegron, improvements of storage symptoms by vibegron involve mechanisms beyond inhibition of voiding contractions. Off-target effects occur with 10 µM, and include inhibition of neurogenic contractions and antagonism of prostatic α
