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 synthase (NOS) catalyzes the production of nitric oxide from L-arginine and dioxygen at a thiolate-ligated heme active site. Although many of the reaction intermediates are as yet unidentified, it is well established that the catalytic cycle begins with substrate binding and rate-limiting electron transfer to the heme. Here we show that Ru(II)-diimine and Re(I)-diimine electron tunneling wires trigger nanosecond photoreduction of the active-site heme in the enzyme. Very rapid generation of a reduced thiolate-ligated heme opens the way for direct observation of short-lived intermediates in the NOS reaction cycle.
