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

background and purposeSuperoxide (O(2)(*-)), derived from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, is associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). NADPH oxidase activity and expression are blocked by nitric oxide (NO) and sildenafil. As another gas, hydrogen sulphide (H(2)S) is formed by blood vessels, the effect of sodium hydrosulphide (NaHS) and the H(2)S-donating derivative of sildenafil, ACS6, on O(2)(*-) formation and the expression of gp91(phox) (a catalytic subunit of NADPH oxidase) in porcine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAECs) was investigated. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: PAECs were incubated with 10 ng mL(-1) tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) (+/-NaHS or ACS6), both of which released H(2)S, for 2 h or 16 h. O(2)(*-) was measured. Expression of gp91(phox) was measured by western blotting and the role of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and/or cyclic GMP was assessed using protein kinase inhibitors. KEY

resultsAfter either 2- or 16-h incubations, O(2)(*-) formation by PAECs was inhibited by NaHS or ACS6, with IC(50) values of about 10 nM and less than 1 nM, respectively. Both 100 nM NaHS and 1 nM ACS6 completely inhibited gp91(phox) expression induced by TNFalpha. The effects of NaHS were blocked by the inhibition of protein kinase A (PKA), but not PKG, and not by the inhibition of guanylyl cyclase. Effects of ACS6 were blocked by inhibition of both PKA and PKG. Both NaHS and ACS6 augmented cAMP formation. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: H(2)S inhibited O(2)(*-) formation and upregulation of NADPH oxidase in PAECs through the adenylyl cyclase-PKA pathway. ACS6 may be effective in treating ARDS through both elevation of cAMP and inhibition of phosphodiesterase type 5 activity.
