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 an essential signaling molecule in the regulation of multiple cellular processes. It is endogenously synthesized by NO synthase (NOS) as the product of L-arginine oxidation to L-citrulline, requiring NADPH, molecular oxygen, and a pterin cofactor. Two NOS isoforms are constitutively present in cells, nNOS and eNOS, and a third is inducible (iNOS). Despite their biological relevance, the details of their complex structural features and reactivity mechanisms are still unclear. In this review, we summarized the contribution of computational biochemistry to research on NOS molecular mechanisms. We described in detail its use in studying aspects of structure, dynamics and reactivity. We also focus on the numerous outstanding questions in the field that could benefit from more extensive computational investigations.
