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

Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKG) may act as a critical enzyme for nitric-oxide-induced vasodilation. In this study, the role of PKG in regulation of basal tension and in relaxation induced by nitrovasodilators in coronary arteries was determined. Under basal conditions, Rp-8-Br-PET-cGMPS, a specific PKG inhibitor, evoked a significant contraction of isolated porcine coronary arteries, which was prevented by nitro-L: -arginine or the removal of the endothelium. Relaxation to nitroglycerin and (Z)-1-[N-(2-aminoethyl)-N-(2-ammonioethyl)amino]diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate (DETA NONOate) in vessels preconstricted with U46619 was largely abolished by 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ) and inhibited by 48 to 79% by Rp-8-Br-PET-cGMPS. Relaxation of the vessels to 8-Br-cGMP was inhibited by 56% by Rp-8-Br-PET-cGMPS. The basal activity of PKG but not that of cyclic adenosine monophosphate-dependent protein kinase (PKA) was inhibited by nitro-L: -arginine, ODQ, or Rp-8-Br-PET-cGMPS. The activity of PKG but not that of PKA was increased by nitroglycerin and DETA NONOate in intact vessels and increased by cGMP in the tissue homogenates. These effects were abolished by Rp-8-Br-PET-cGMPS but not by myristoylated PKI, a specific inhibitor of PKA. These results suggest that in porcine coronary arteries, PKG is involved in the regulation of basal tension and plays a primary role in relaxation induced by nitrovasodilators, whereas PKA may play a minor role.
