The Nitric Oxide Prodrug V-PROLI/NO Inhibits Cellular Uptake of Proline.
Article in ACS medicinal chemistry letters, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
V-PYRRO/NO is a well studied nitric oxide (NO) prodrug which has been shown to protect human liver cells from arsenic, acetaminophen, and other toxic assaults in vivo. Its proline-based analogue, V-PROLI/NO, was designed to be a more biocompatible form that decomposes to the naturally occurring metabolites of proline, NO, and glycolaldehyde. Like V-PYRRO/NO, this cytochrome P450-activated prodrug was previously assumed to passively diffuse through the cellular membrane. Using (14)C-labeled proline in a competition assay, we show that V-PROLI/NO is transported through proline transporters into multiple cell lines. A fluorescent NO-sensitive dye (DAF-FM diacetate) and nitrite excretion indicated elevated intracellular NO release after metabolism over V-PYRRO/NO. These results also allowed us to predict and design a more permeable analogue, V-SARCO/NO. We report a proline transporter-based strategy for the selective transport of NO prodrugs that may have enhanced efficacy and aid in development of further NO prodrugs with increased permeability.
