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

backgroundDespite the widespread clinical use of cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors, dilemmas regarding the potential impact of these drugs on the cardiovascular system persist.

objectiveTo estimate the effects of different COX inhibitors (meloxicam, acetylsalicylic acid [ASA] and SC-560) on cardiac function and coronary flow in isolated rat hearts, with special focus on the L-arginine/nitric oxide system.

methodsThe hearts of eight-week-old male Wistar albino rats (n=72; 12 rats per group; body mass 180 g to 200 g) were retrogradely perfused according to the Langendorff technique at gradually increased perfusion pressure (40 cmH2O to 120 cmH2O). After control experiments, the hearts were perfused with the following drugs: 100 μM ASA, alone or in combination with 30 μM N(ω)-nitro-L-arginine monomethyl ester (L-NAME), 0.3 μM meloxicam with or without 30 μM L-NAME, 3 μM meloxicam with or without 30 μM L-NAME, 30 μM L-NAME and 0.25 μM SC-560. In the control and experimental groups, the following parameters of heart function were continuously recorded: maximum rate of left ventricular pressure development, minimum rate of left ventricular pressure development, systolic left ventricular pressure, diastolic left ventricular pressure, heart rate and mean blood pressure. Coronary flow was measured flowmetrically. The amount of released NO2 (-) was determined spectrophotometrically in coronary venous effluent.

resultsWhile meloxicam and SC-560 were found to have an adverse influence on cardiac function and coronary perfusion, ASA did not negatively affect the intact model of the heart.

conclusionIt appeared that interaction between COX and the L-arginine/nitric oxide system truly exists in coronary circulation and may explain the causes of the observed effects.
