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

backgroundNitric oxide (NO) is a multifunctional gaseous molecule that regulates various physiological functions in both neuronal and non-neuronal cells. NO is synthesized by nitric oxide synthases (NOSs), of which three isoforms have been identified. Neuronal NOS (nNOS) and endothelial NOS (eNOS) constitutively produce low levels of NO as a cell-signaling molecule in response to an increase in intracellular calcium concentration. Recent data have revealed a predominant role of eNOS in both angiogenesis and vasculogenesis.

methodsThe immunohistochemical localization of nNOS and eNOS was investigated during embryonic and fetal ocular vascular development from 7 to 21 weeks gestation (WG) on sections of cryopreserved tissue.

resultseNOS was confined to endothelial cells of developing vessels at all ages studied. nNOS was prominent in nuclei of vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells in the fetal vasculature of vitreous and choriocapillaris. nNOS was also prominent in the nuclei of CXCR4(+) progenitors in the inner retina and inner neuroblastic layer.

conclusionsThese findings demonstrate co-expression of n- and eNOS isoforms in different compartments of vasoformative cells during development. Nuclear nNOS was present in vascular and nonvascular progenitors as well as endothelial cells and pericytes. This suggests that nNOS may play a role in the transcription regulatory systems in endothelial cells and pericytes during ocular hemo-vasculogenesis, vasculogenesis, and angiogenesis.
