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

Reduced availability of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH(4)) contributes to the age-related decline of nitric oxide (NO)-mediated vasodilatation of soleus muscle arterioles. Depending on availability of substrate and/or necessary co-factors, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) can generate NO and/or superoxide (O(2)(-)). We evaluated the effects of age and chronic exercise on flow-induced vasodilatation and levels of NO and O(2)(-) in soleus muscle arterioles. Young (3 months) and old (22 months) male rats were exercise trained or remained sedentary (SED) for 10 weeks. Flow-stimulated NO and O(2)(-), as well as BH(4) and l-arginine content, were determined in soleus muscle arterioles. Flow-induced vasodilatation was assessed under control conditions and during the blockade of O(2)(-) and/or hydrogen peroxide. Exercise training enhanced flow-induced vasodilatation in arterioles from young and old rats. Old age reduced, and exercise training restored, BH(4) content and flow-stimulated NO availability. Flow-stimulated, eNOS-derived O(2)(-) levels were higher in arterioles from old SED compared to those from young SED rats. Exercise training increased flow-stimulated eNOS-derived O(2)(-) levels in arterioles from young but not old rats. O(2)(-) scavenging with Tempol reduced flow-induced vasodilatation from all groups except young SED rats. Addition of catalase to Tempol-treated arterioles eliminated flow-induced vasodilatation in arterioles from all groups. Catalase reduced flow-induced vasodilatation from all groups. In Tempol-treated arterioles, flow-induced vasodilatation was restored by deferoxamine, an iron chelator. These data indicate that uncoupling of eNOS contributes to the age-related decline in flow-induced vasodilatation; however, reactive oxygen species are required for flow-induced vasodilatation in soleus muscle arterioles from young and old rats.
