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

S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) is a key denitrosylase and critically important for protecting immune and other cells from nitrosative stress. Pharmacological inhibition of GSNOR is being actively pursued as a therapeutic approach to increase S-nitrosoglutathione levels for the treatment of asthma and cystic fibrosis. In the present study, we employed GSNOR-deficient (GSNOR(-/-)) mice to investigate whether inactivation of GSNOR may increase susceptibility to pulmonary infection by Klebsiella pneumoniae, a common cause of nosocomial pneumonia. We found that compared to wild-type mice, bacterial colony forming units 48 h after intranasal infection with K. pneumoniae were increased over 4-folds in lung and spleen and strikingly, over a 1000-folds in blood of GSNOR(-/-) mice. Lung injury was comparable between infected wild-type and GSNOR(-/-) mice, but inflammation and injury was significantly elevated in spleen of GSNOR(-/-) mice. Whereas all wild-type mice survived 48 h after infection, 10 of 23 GSNOR(-/-) mice died. Thus, GSNOR appears to play a crucial role in controlling pulmonary and systemic infection by K. pneumoniae. Our results suggest that patients treated in clinical trials with inhibitors of GSNOR should be carefully monitored for signs of infection.
