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

Within cardiomyocytes, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) are thought to modulate L-type calcium channel (LTCC) function and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium cycling, respectively. However, divergent results from mostly invasive prior studies suggest more complex roles. To elucidate the roles of nNOS and eNOS in vivo, we applied noninvasive cardiac MRI to study wild-type (WT), eNOS(-/-), and nNOS(-/-) mice. An in vivo index of LTCC flux (LTCCI) was measured at baseline (Bsl), dobutamine (Dob), and dobutamine + carbacholamine (Dob + CCh) using manganese-enhanced MRI. Displacement-encoded MRI assessed contractile function by measuring circumferential strain (E(cc)) and systolic (dE(cc)/dt) and diastolic (dE(cc)/dt(diastolic)) strain rates at Bsl, Dob, and Dob + CCh. Bsl LTCCI was highest in nNOS(-/-) mice (P < 0.05 vs. WT and eNOS(-/-)) and increased only in WT and eNOS(-/-) mice with Dob (P < 0.05 vs. Bsl). LTCCI decreased significantly from Dob levels with Dob + CCh in all mice. Contractile function, as assessed by E(cc), was similar in all mice at Bsl. With Dob, E(cc) increased significantly in WT and eNOS(-/-) but not nNOS(-/-) mice (P < 0.05 vs. WT and eNOS(-/-)). With Dob + CCh, E(cc) returned to baseline levels in all mice. Systolic blood pressure, measured via tail plethysmography, was highest in eNOS(-/-) mice (P < 0.05 vs. WT and nNOS(-/-)). Mice deficient in nNOS demonstrate increased Bsl LTCC function and an attenuated contractile reserve to Dob, whereas eNOS(-/-) mice demonstrate normal LTCC and contractile function under all conditions. These results suggest that nNOS, not eNOS, plays the dominant role in modulating Ca(2+) cycling in the heart.
