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

Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role on several biological functions. Recently, it has been reported the possibility of modifying the NO release profile from the NO donors through its coupling to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Thus, AuNPs were synthesized and they were exposed to the NO donor ruthenium complex Cis-[Ru(bpy)2(NO)(4PySH)].(PF6)3 termed (Ru-4PySH)-forming AuNPs-{Ru-4PySH}n cluster. Our results indicate that AuNPs do not modify the maximum effect (ME) and potency (pD2) in the vasodilation induced by Ru-4PySH. Both complexes induce similar vascular relaxation in concentration-dependent way. However, the NO released from the complex AuNPs-{Ru-4PySH}n is lower than Ru-4PySH. Both complexes release only NO(0) specie, but AuNPs-{Ru-4PySH}n releases NO in constant way and exclusively in the extracellular medium. In time-course, Ru-4Py-SH was faster than AuNPs-{Ru-4PySH}n in inducing the maximum vasodilation. Inhibition of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) abolished the vasodilation induced by Ru-4PYSH, but not by AuNPs-{Ru-4PySH}n. Non-selective potassium (K(+)) channel blocker TEA had no effect on the vasodilation induced by AuNPs-{Ru-4PySH}n, but it reduced the potency to Ru-4PySH. In conclusion, our results suggest that AuNPs can reduce the permeability of NO donor Ru-4PySH due to AuNPs-{Ru-4PySH}n cluster formation. AuNPs reduce NO release, but they do not impair the vasodilator effect induced by the NO donor. Ru-4PySH induces vasodilation by sGC and K(+) channels activation, while AuNPs-{Ru-4PySH}n activates mainly sGC. Taken together, these findings represent a new pharmacological strategy to control the NO release which could activate selective biological targets.
