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) can protect the gastrointestinal tract from injury, including that provoked by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This protective profile of NO, which predominantly reflects actions on the microcirculation, is mimicked by NO donors. Moreover, the NO-donating agents know as the NO-NSAIDs or CINODs (cyclo-oxygenase-inhibiting nitric oxide-donating drugs) exhibit reduced gut injury in experimental models, which is considered to reflect these local beneficial actions of NO. NSAIDs cause chronic inflammatory lesions in the small intestine in experimental models. This injury results from initial COX inhibition and other local events, with translocation of indigenous luminal bacteria, leading to induction of NO synthase isoform, iNOS, and subsequent production of the cytotoxic moiety, peroxynitrite from NO and superoxide. Agents that inhibit iNOS or superoxide production can attenuate such intestinal injury. In the absence of reactive oxygen moieties, NO may play a beneficial role in the resolution of inflammatory damage to the gut, thus reconciling the potential opposing properties of NO in tissue inflammation and injury.
