Obesity influence on bladder inflammation and cancer: a cystitis model.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundRecently, the role of subclinical inflammation in obesity has gained prominence. An association between obesity and chronic inflammation has been observed in several studies that show a relationship between increased morbidity and high Body Mass Index (BMI). This study aims to compare inflammatory pathways in obese (by high-fat diet) and non-obese mice after exposure to an intravesical carcinogen in a cystitis model.
methodsWe divided 16 female, 7 week old mice into two groups: 1) CONTROL: standard diet, and 2) OBESE: high fat diet for 8 weeks. Both groups underwent a protocol for
resultsWhile mice eating standard diet showed minimal histologic alteration in 4 of 5 (80%) bladder tissues, those eating a high fat diet showed moderate (60%) and intense (40%) chronic active inflammation with dysplasia foci, increased proliferation, apoptosis and inflammatory pathway activation with increased NFκB, and also IKKβ, JNK, and c-JUN phosphorylation in the urothelium.
conclusionA high-fat diet causes increased urothelial proliferation, apoptosis, and NFκB expression with cystitis exacerbation and dysplasia. Together, these results suggest that obesity induced by a high-fat diet increases the inflammatory pathway in the bladder with possible pre-malignant alterations.
