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 common perception that hemoglobin is involved solely in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide has been challenged by recent studies with nitric oxide (NO). These studies have shown that the primordial bacterial flavohemoglobin functions to consume NO enzymatically (to protect from nitrosative stress), whereas mammalian hemoglobin functions to deliver NO (thus maximizing oxygen delivery in the respiratory cycle). Here we report that murine macrophages stimulated to produce NO with lipopolysaccharide and interferon-gamma express the betaminor hemoglobin subunit. Consumption of NO, however, was not increased by cytokines or by hemoglobin expression. These data suggest alternative functions for globins in mammalian cells, and they challenge the prevailing view that the expression of alpha- and beta-globin genes is always balanced and coordinated.
