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) is a simple molecule with a complex and pleiotropic biological activity. NO or related species have been implicated in the regulation of many genes that participate in many diverse biological functions including programmed cell death or apoptosis. Apoptosis is a process that may potentially be disrupted in cancer cells conferring a survival advantage. In addition, malignant tumor cells can develop an intricate system of resistance to apoptotic stimuli. NO or related species have been shown to play a dual role in the regulation of apoptosis in malignant cells either promoting cell death or protecting cells from pro-apoptotic induction. However, the specific role of NO in the regulation of apoptosis/survival-related genes expression seems to tilt the balance toward the promotion of pro-apoptotic and the suppression of anti-apoptotic genes. Herein we have reviewed the most relevant aspects involving NO and/or reactive intermediates in the regulation of apoptosis-related genes--mainly--at the transcriptional level. We described the basic apoptotic molecules that potentially are affected by NO and how NO-mediated signaling gets transmitted to the transcriptional machinery that governs the expression of these genes. In addition, we discussed some of the fundamental functional consequences of the regulation of apoptosis-related genes by NO in cancer biology and its potential therapeutic implications.
