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

In the human erythrocyte, band 3 protein mediates nitric oxide (NO) translocation and its effects are strongly related to phosphorylated/dephosphorylated intracellular states. The metabolism of NO could change in the presence of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Therefore, the present study was designed to assess the effect of conformational changes in AChE (via N-19 and C-16 antibodies) and enzymatic inhibition/activation of protein kinase C (PKC) in erythrocyte NO mobilization in vitro. Our results show that by inhibiting PKC with cheletrine, impaired erythrocyte NO efflux and s-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) levels were verified, while PKC's activation by Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate had the opposite effect. Those results demonstrate the influence of 4.1R complex and band 3 protein level of phosphorylation on NO efflux and GSNO concentration mediated by PKC inhibition/activation. In addition, the present study shows evidence that conformational changes in AChE promoted by incubation with N-19 and C-16 antibodies alter the enzyme's functional connection to acetylcholine (ACh) (AChE-ACh complex) in an irreversible manner, resulting in impaired GSNO concentration and NO efflux from the erythrocyte. Novel insight into NO metabolism in the erythrocyte is brought with the presented findings allowing new possibilities of modulating NO delivery, possibly involving PKC and AChE conformational alterations in combination.
