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) is a gas with biological and regulatory properties, produced from arginine by the way of nitric oxide synthases (NOS), and with a very short half-life (few seconds). A "coupled" NOS activity leads to NO generation, whereas its uncoupling produces the reactive oxygen species peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)). Uncoupling is usually due to inflammation, oxidative stress, decreased cofactor availability, or excessive NO production. Competitive inhibitors of NO production are post-translationally methylated arginine residues in proteins, which are constantly released into the circulation. NO availability is altered in many clinical conditions associated with vascular dysfunction, such as diabetes mellitus. The kidney plays an important role in body NO homeostasis. This article provides an overview of current literature, on NO production/availability, with a focus on diabetic nephropathy. In diabetes, NO availability is usually decreased (with exception of the early, hyper filtration phase of nephropathy in Type 1 diabetes), and it could constitute a factor of the generalized vasculopathy present in diabetic nephropathy. NO generation in Type 2 diabetes with nephropathy is inversely associated with the dimethyl-arginine concentrations, which are therefore important modulators of NO synthesis independently from the classic stimulatory pathways (such as the insulin effect). A disturbed NO metabolism is present in diabetes associated with nephropathy. Although modulation of NO production is not yet a common therapeutical strategy, a number of yet experimental compounds need to be tested as potential interventions to treat the vascular dysfunction and nephropathy in diabetes, as well as in other diseased states. Finally, in diabetic nephropathy NO deficiency may be associated to that of hydrogen sulfide, another interesting gaseous mediator which is increasingly investigated.
