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

Nitric oxide (NO) is a messenger molecule which regulates many physiological functions like immunity, vascular tone and serves as a neurotransmitter. Although it is known to participate in healing process, its role in collagen synthesis is not clear. Therefore, the present investigation was done to study the role of NO in wound collagen synthesis. Rats received full thickness, circular (8 mm), transdermal wounds which were treated with NO releaser, sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 0.001 100 microM) topically for 5 days. Wound collagen content estimated in terms of hydroxyproline (HP) and confirmed histochemically was decreased significantly by all SNP doses. L-Arginine, a substrate for nitric oxide synthase (NOS) when applied topically decreased collagen content of the wounded tissues. N-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a competitive inhibitor of NOS, increased wound collagen content significantly as compared to untreated and SNP treated animal wounds when administered intraperitoneally at the doses 3, 10 and 30 mg/kg. Furthermore, histological findings also demonstrated laying down of thick collagen bundles and proliferation of fibroblasts together with prominent angiogenesis in L-NAME treated wound tissues as compared to untreated and SNP treated tissues. N-nitro-D-arginine methyl ester, an inactive isomer, was found to have no effect on wound collagen levels. When L-arginine was administered in L-NAME pretreated rats, it significantly elevated wound HP content. The results indicate that NO plays an important role in regulating the collagen biosynthesis in skin model of a healing wound.
