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

We have quantified and characterized alpha 1-, alpha 2- and beta-adrenoceptor subtypes in porcine bladder detrusor and bladder neck, human bladder detrusor, and porcine and human prostate. alpha 1-, alpha 2- and beta-adrenoceptor were identified in radioligand binding studies using [3H]prazosin, [3H]RX 821002 and [125I]iodocyanopindolol, respectively, as the radioligands. In porcine male and female detrusor and bladder neck and male prostate, adrenoceptors were detected in the order of abundance beta > alpha 2 >> alpha 1 (not detectable), with no major difference between the sexes or between detrusor and bladder neck. In human detrusor and prostate the order of abundance was beta > alpha 2 >> alpha 1 (not detectable) and beta >> alpha 1 > alpha 2, respectively. The alpha 2-adrenoceptors in all tissues were homogeneously of the alpha 2A-subtype as evidenced by competition binding studies with yohimbine, prazosin, ARC 239 and oxymetazoline. The beta-adrenoceptors represented a mixed population with a dominance of the beta 2-subtype in all tissues as demonstrated by competition binding with ICI 118,551 and CGP 20,712A. We conclude that pigs may be a suitable model for studies of detrusor function with respect to adrenoceptor expression. They may be less suitable for studies of bladder neck or prostate function.
