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

Amyl nitrite was introduced in 1867 as the first molecule of a new class of agents for the treatment of angina pectoris. In the following 150 years, the nitric oxide pathway has been the subject of a number of pharmacological approaches, particularly since when this elusive mediator was identified as one of the most important modulators of vascular homeostasis beyond vasomotion, including platelet function, inflammation, and atherogenesis. While having potent antianginal and antiischemic properties, however, nitric oxide donors are also not devoid of side effects, including the induction of tolerance, and, as shown in the last decade, of oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction. In turn, endothelial dysfunction is itself felt to be involved in all stages of atherogenesis, from the development of fatty streaks to plaque rupture and thrombosis. In the present review, we summarize the agents that act on the nitric oxide pathway, with a particular focus on their potentially beneficial antiatherosclerotic and unwanted pro-atherosclerotic effects.
