A physiologically relevant role for NO stored in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel theory of vascular NO signaling.
Review in Redox biology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
S-nitrosothiols (SNO), dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNIC), and nitroglycerine (NTG) dilate vessels via activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) in vascular smooth muscle cells. Although these compounds are often considered to be nitric oxide (NO) donors, attempts to ascribe their vasodilatory activity to NO-donating properties have failed. Even more puzzling, many of these compounds have vasodilatory potency comparable to or even greater than that of NO itself, despite low membrane permeability. This raises the question: How do these NO adducts activate cytosolic sGC when their NO moiety is still outside the cell? In this review, we classify these compounds as 'nitrodilators', defined by their potent NO-mimetic vasoactivities despite not releasing requisite amounts of free NO. We propose that nitrodilators activate sGC via a preformed nitrodilator-activated NO store (NANOS) found within the vascular smooth muscle cell. We reinterpret vascular NO handling in the framework of this NANOS paradigm, and describe the knowledge gaps and perspectives of this novel model.
