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

Environmental pollution and non-chemical stressors such as mental stress or traffic noise exposure are increasingly accepted as health risk factors with substantial contribution to chronic noncommunicable diseases (e.g. cardiovascular, metabolic and mental). Whereas the mechanisms of air pollution-mediated adverse health effects are well characterized, the mechanisms of traffic noise exposure are not completely understood, despite convincing clinical and epidemiological evidence for a significant contribution of environmental noise to overall mortality and disability. The initial mechanism of noise-induced cardiovascular, metabolic and mental disease is well defined by the "noise reaction model" and consists of neuronal activation involving the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis as well as the sympathetic nervous system, followed by a classical stress response via cortisol and catecholamines. Stress pathways are initiated by noise-induced annoyance and sleep deprivation/fragmentation. This review highlights the down-stream pathophysiology of noise-induced mental stress, which is based on an induction of inflammation and oxidative stress. We highlight the sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS) involved and the known targets for noise-induced oxidative damage. Part of the review emphasizes noise-triggered uncoupling/dysregulation of endothelial and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (eNOS and nNOS) and its central role for vascular dysfunction.
