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

The study was designed to examine if the vasorelaxant effect of hydrogen sulfide was mediated by sulfhydration-associated phosphodiesterase (PDE) 5A dimerization. The thoracic aorta of rat was separated and the vasorelaxant effects were examined with in vitro vascular perfusion experiments. The dimerization and sulfhydration of PDE 5A and soluble guanylatecyclase (sGC) were measured. PDE 5A and protein kinase G (PKG) activities were tested. Intracellular cGMP content was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that NaHS relaxed isolated rat vessel rings at an EC50 of (1.79 ± 0.31)×10-5mol/L, associated with significantly increased PKG activity and cGMP content in vascular tissues. Sulfhydration of sGC β1 was increased, while the levels of sGC αβ1 dimers were apparently decreased after incubation with NaHS in vascular tissues. Moreover, PDE 5A homodimers were markedly decreased, and accordingly the PDE 5A activity demonstrated by the content of 5'-GMP was significantly decreased after incubation with NaHS or GYY4137. Mechanistically, both NaHS and GYY4137 significantly enhanced the PDE 5A sulfhydration in vascular tissues. DTT partially abolished the effects of NaHS on PDE 5A activity, cGMP content and vasorelaxation. Therefore, the present study for the first time suggested that H2S exerted vasorelaxant effect probably via sulfhydration-associated PDE 5A dimerization.
