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 endothelium plays an important role in maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis by synthesizing and releasing several vasodilating substances, including vasodilator prostaglandins, nitric oxide (NO), and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF). Since the first report on the existence of EDHF, several substances/mechanisms have been proposed for the nature of EDHF, including epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (metabolites of arachidonic P450 epoxygenase pathway), K ions, and electrical communications through myoendothelial gap junctions. We have demonstrated that endothelium-derived hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) is an EDHF in animals and humans. For the synthesis of H(2)O(2)/EDHF, endothelial NO synthase system that is functionally coupled with Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase plays a crucial role. Importantly, endothelium-derived H(2)O(2) plays important protective roles in the coronary circulation, including coronary autoregulation, protection against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, and metabolic coronary vasodilatation. Indeed, our H(2)O(2)/EDHF theory demonstrates that endothelium-derived H(2)O(2), another reactive oxygen species in addition to NO, plays important roles as a redox-signaling molecule to cause vasodilatation as well as cardioprotection. In this review, we summarize our current knowledge on H(2)O(2)/EDHF regarding its identification and mechanisms of synthesis and actions.
