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

Nitric oxide (NO) functions as a pathophysiological mediator in mammalian tissues. Activated macrophages produce NO as a non-specific immune response directed against invading bacteria or micro-organisms. The same macrophages that initiate the production of NO also can be toxically affected by NO. Incubation of RAW 264.7 macrophages with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and/or interferon-gamma (INF-gamma) induced the formation of NO by the activation of a cytokine-inducible NO synthase (NOS). The viability of these macrophages was inversely correlated with the formation of nitrite, a final NO-oxidation product measurable in the incubation medium. The addition of an NOS inhibitor, NG-monomethyl-L-arginine, diminished NO formation and preserved cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. Treatment of macrophages with ten cycles of non-lethal doses of LPS and INF-gamma, each followed by subculturing of the surviving cells, resulted in cell resistance to the NO toxic insult induced by LPS and INF-gamma. These resistant macrophages showed a 2-fold increase in the expression of the constitutive heat shock protein (HSC 70) which is known to be involved in protecting cells against the action of various metabolic insults. Our results establish a link between cell resistance to the toxic effects of NO, and the expression of heat shock proteins in RAW 264.7 macrophages.
