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

1. We investigated the effect of the NO-donor S-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP) on cardiomyocytes isolated from control normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive (SHR) rats. 2. Ventricular cardiomyocytes were isolated from SHR and WKY hearts and imaging analysis of fura-2-loaded cells was performed in order to evaluate calcium transient in electrical field paced (0.5 Hz) cells. 3. In WKY cardiomyocytes, 1 - 200 microM SNAP dose-dependently increased cyclic GMP content. In basal conditions, cyclic GMP content of SHR cardiomyocytes was significantly higher than in WKY, but SNAP failed to further increase cyclic GMP over the basal level. 4. In control conditions, the Delta F/F and decay time of the calcium transient were similar in both strains. In WKY cardiomyocytes, SNAP (1 - 100 microM) reduced the decay time. In SHR cardiomyocytes, SNAP was ineffective. Dibutyryl cyclic GMP (10(-6) - 10(-8) M), a membrane permeable cyclic GMP analogue, behaved similarly to SNAP. 5. In WKY and SHR cardiomyocytes, 10(-8) M isoprenaline similarly increased Delta F/F and decreased the decay time. SNAP and dibutyryl cyclic GMP prevented the effect of isoprenaline in WKY, whereas both molecules were ineffective in SHR cardiomyocytes. In WKY, SNAP effects were blocked by pretreating cells with the cGK inhibitor KT-5823. 6. Western blotting analysis of cGK type I showed that the enzyme was expressed in WKY isolated cardiomyocytes, but absent in four out of five SHR preparations. 7. We concluded that the low expression of cGKI may determine the lack of NO/cyclic GMP-dependent regulation on calcium transient in SHR cardiomyocytes. This alteration may contribute to the development of heart hypertrophy in hypertensive status.
