Mechanisms involved in SNP-induced relaxation and [Ca+]i reduction in piglet pulmonary and systemic arteries.
Article in British journal of pharmacology, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
1. We have compared the mechanisms involved in sodium nitroprusside (SNP)-induced relaxation and [Ca2+]i reduction in isolated piglet pulmonary (PA) and mesenteric (MA) arteries. 2. SNP (10(-8) M-3x10(-5) M) evoked a concentration-dependent relaxation of PA and MA (pD2=6.66+/-0.06 and 6.74+/-0.14, respectively) stimulated by noradrenaline, which was markedly reduced by the guanylate cyclase inhibitor ODQ. In fura 2-incubated PA and MA, SNP produced a parallel reduction in contractile force and in [Ca2+]i, expressed as the ratio of emitted fluorescence at 340 and 380 nm (F340/F380). 3. The inhibition of the Na+/K+-ATPase after the incubation in a K+-free medium or the exposure to ouabain (10(-6) M) inhibited SNP-induced relaxation in MA but not in PA. SNP-induced relaxation was not attenuated by 80 mM KCl plus nifedipine (10(-6) M) but was inhibited by thapsigargin (2x10(-6) M; pD2=5.69+/-0.19 and 5.89+/-0.19 for PA and MA, respectively). 4. Pretreatment of PA with thapsigargin and MA with thapsigargin plus ouabain induced a stronger inhibition on the reduction in [Ca2+]i than on the relaxation induced by SNP, indicating the existence of Ca2+-independent mechanisms. 5. The activation of the Na+/K+-ATPase by the addition of KCl after the incubation in a K+-free medium similarly reduced [Ca2+]i in PA and MA, whereas it relaxed with much less efficacy PA than MA. 6. We conclude that SNP reduces [Ca2+]i and causes relaxation through the activation of SERCA in PA and SERCA and Na+/K+-ATPase in MA. However, Ca2+-independent mechanisms also contribute to SNP-induced effects.
