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

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) produced by epithelial and inflammatory cells are key mediators of the chronic airway inflammation of asthma. Low L-arginine levels can result in the uncoupling of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) leading to production of both ROS and RNS. Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is a competitive endogenous inhibitor of all NOS isoforms and has been demonstrated to inhibit NO formation and increase oxidative stress in vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells. The effect of ADMA on inducible NOS (iNOS) activity in epithelial cells has not been explored. In this study, we investigated whether addition of exogenous ADMA alters the generation of NO and superoxide anion (O2-), leading to peroxynitrite (ONOO-) formation in a mouse epithelial cell line. In stimulated LA-4 cells, ADMA dose-dependently inhibited nitrite accumulation after 24 h of treatment. In addition, ADMA concentrations as low as 10 microM induced rapid increases in O2- production as measured by dihydroethidium oxidation. Furthermore, using dihydrorhodamine to monitor ONOO- formation, ADMA caused a dose-dependent increase in ONOO- after treatment for 24 h. Similar effects of ADMA were seen using purified iNOS protein in a cell-free system. Together, these data indicate that elevated ADMA may contribute to the production of ROS and RNS in airway inflammation.
