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

backgroundNitric oxide (NO) is released in the airway as a critical component of innate immune defense against invading pathogenic organisms. It is well documented that bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects of NO are concentration-dependent. However, few data exist comparing relative susceptibility of common pathogens to NO at physiologic concentrations. In this study we evaluated the effects of NO on 4 common airway bacteria and 1 fungus, and examined the potential implications of discrepancies in sensitivity.

methodsStaphylococcus epidermis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans cultures were adjusted to a uniform optical density (OD) and grown in log phase at 37°C with varying concentrations of NO formed by DETA NONOate. Both OD readings and colony forming units (CFUs) were measured at varying time-points to evaluate for inhibitory effects of NO.

resultsP aeruginosa and C albicans were significantly more sensitive to NO at physiologic concentrations typical of the human airway. S aureus was attenuated by NO to a lesser degree, and K pneumoniae and S epidermis were more resistant to NO at all concentrations tested. Air surface liquid from cultured human sinonasal epithelial cells had an additive effect in bacterial killing of P aeruginosa, but not in S aureus.

conclusionCommon airway pathogens have varying levels of susceptibility to NO at physiologic concentrations of innate immune defense. Relative sensitivity of P aeruginosa and relative resistance of S epidermis may help explain the composition of the healthy microbiome, as well as opportunistic infection in the absence of induced NO release.
