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

Soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC, also called GC1) is the main receptor for nitric oxide (NO) that catalyzes the production of the second messenger molecule, 3'5' cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) leading to vasorelaxation, and inhibition of leukocyte recruitment and platelet aggregation. Enhancing cGMP levels, through sGC agonism or inhibition of cGMP breakdown via phosphodiesterase inhibition, has yielded FDA approval for several cGMP modifier therapies for treatment of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. While basic research continues to improve our understanding of cGMP signaling and as new therapies evolve to elevate cGMP levels, we provide a short methodological primer for measuring cGMP and cGMP-mediated vascular relaxation for investigators.
