A novel signaling pathway of nitric oxide on transcriptional regulation of mouse kappa opioid receptor gene.

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
Nitric oxide (NO) suppressed the transcription of the mouse kappa opioid receptor (KOR) gene, mediated by a rapid downregulation of c-myc gene expression. KOR was constitutively expressed in postnatal day 19 (P19) embryonal carcinoma stem cells and is suppressed by NO donors [sodium nitroprusside (SNP), 3-morpholinosydnonimine-1, and S-nitrosoglutathione] in P19 stem cells within 4 hr. The suppression was reversed by 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide, an NO scavenger, but could not be blocked by dithiothreitol, ruling out S-nitrosylation as the underlying mechanism. The suppressive effect of NO on KOR occurred at the level of gene transcription, mediated by E boxes located in promoters I and II of this gene. Protein-DNA complexes that formed on these E boxes contained c-myc; c-myc expression was suppressed by NO in P19 stem cells within 2 hr of treatment. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation demonstrated reduced c-myc binding to the E boxes and hypoacetylation of histone H3 on the chromatin of endogenous KOR promoters in P19 stem cells treated with SNP. It is proposed that NO regulates KOR at the level of gene transcription, mediated by a rapid suppression of c-myc gene expression and its binding to KOR promoters, and followed by chromatin hypoacetylation of and reduced transcription from KOR promoters in P19 stem cells. A novel pathway mediating the potential interplay between NO and opioid systems is discussed.
