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

Cardiac fibrosis (CF) is an irreversible pathological process that occurs in almost all kinds of cardiovascular diseases. Phosphorylation-dependent activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) induces cardiac fibrosis. However, whether S-nitrosylation of JNK mediates cardiac fibrosis remains an open question. A biotin-switch assay confirmed that S-nitrosylation of JNK (SNO-JNK) increased significantly in the heart tissues of hypertrophic patients, transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mice, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), and neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts (NRCFs) stimulated with angiotensin II (Ang II). Site to site substitution of alanine for cysteine in JNK was applied to determine the S-nitrosylated site. S-Nitrosylation occurred at both Cys116 and Cys163 and substitution of alanine for cysteine 116 and cysteine 163 (C116/163A) inhibited Ang II-induced myofibroblast transformation. We further confirmed that the source of S-nitrosylation was inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). 1400 W, an inhibitor of iNOS, abrogated the profibrotic effects of Ang II in NRCFs. Mechanistically, SNO-JNK facilitated the nuclear translocation of JNK, increased the phosphorylation of c-Jun, and induced the transcriptional activity of AP-1 as determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation and EMSA. Finally, WT and iNOS
