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

The ability for bladder to perceive and analyze mechanical stimuli, such as stretch and filling, is crucial for its functions, such as urinary storage and voiding. The Piezo channel family, including Piezo1 and Piezo2, represents one of the most essential mechanosensitive ion channels in mammals and is involved in a wide array of physiological and pathological processes. It has been demonstrated in numerous investigations that Piezo channels play a key role in mechanical transduction in various types of cells in bladder by converting mechanical stimuli into biological signals. Notably, mounting evidence suggests that Piezo channels are functionally significant for bladder and are related to several bladder disorders. This review systematically summarizes the importance/role and features of Piezo channels in bladder, including their biophysical properties, location, and functions, with attention specifically paid to their association with the physiology and pathophysiology of bladder. This review aims to provide a novel perspective for the future clinical treatment of bladder dysfunction.
