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

The free radical form of nitric oxide (NO(.)) is a well-known mediator of vascular tone. What is not so well recognized is that NO(.) exists in several different redox forms. There is considerable evidence that NO(.) and its one-electron reduction product, nitroxyl (HNO), have pharmacologically distinct actions that extend into the regulation of the vasculature. The aim of this study was to compare the vasorelaxation mechanisms of HNO and NO(.), including an examination of the ability of these redox variants to hyperpolarize and repolarize vascular smooth muscle cells from rat mesenteric arteries. The HNO donor Angeli's salt (0.1 nM-10 microM) caused a concentration-dependent hyperpolarization of vessels at resting tone and a simultaneous, concentration-dependent vasorelaxation and repolarization of vessels precontracted and depolarized with methoxamine. Both vasorelaxation and repolarization responses to Angeli's salt were significantly attenuated by both the HNO scavenger l-cysteine (3 mM) and the voltage-dependent K(+) (K(v)) channel inhibitor 4-aminopyridine (4-AP; 1 mM) and virtually abolished by the soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) inhibitor 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ; 10 microM) or 30 mM K(+). In contrast, NO(.) (0.01-1 microM) repolarized arteries to a lesser extent than HNO, and these responses were resistant to inhibition by ODQ (10 microM) and 4-AP (1 mM). Blockade of K(v) channels (1 mM 4-AP) also significantly inhibited the repolarization response to YC-1 (0.1-10 microM), confirming a role for sGC/cGMP in the activation of K(v) channels in this preparation. We conclude that HNO causes vasorelaxation via a cGMP-dependent activation of K(v) channels and that there are different profiles of vasorelaxant activity for the redox siblings HNO and NO(.).
