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

Nitrosothiols are powerful vasodilators. Although the mechanism of their formation near neutral pH is an area of intense research, neither the energetics nor the kinetics of this reaction or of subsequent reactions have been addressed. The following considerations may help to guide experiments. (1) The standard Gibbs energy for the homolysis reaction RSNO → RS(•) + NO(•)(aq) is +110 ± 5 kJ mol(-1). (2) The electrode potential of the RSNO, H(+)/RSH, NO(•)(aq) couple is -0.20 ± 0.06 V at pH 7. (3) Thiol nitrosation by NO(2)(-) is favorable by 37 ± 5 kJ mol(-1) at pH 7. (4) N(2)O(3) is not involved in in vivo nitrosation mechanisms for thermodynamic--its formation from NO(2)(-) costs 59 kJ mol(-1)--or kinetic--the reaction being second-order in NO(2)(-)--reasons. (5) Hemoglobin (Hb) cannot catalyze formation of N(2)O(3), be it via the intermediacy of the reaction of Hb[FeNO(2)](2+) with NO(•) (+81 kJ mol(-1)) or reaction of Hb[FeNO](3+) with NO(2)(-) (+88 kJ mol(-1)). (6) Energetically and kinetically viable are nitrosations that involve HNO(2) or NO(•) in the presence of an electron acceptor with an electrode potential higher than -0.20 V. These considerations are derived from existing thermochemical and kinetics data.
