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

Expression of NADPH oxidase and low superoxide generation (approx. 0.06 nmol/min per 10(6) cells) by cytokine- or ionophore-stimulated human fibroblasts is known. However, we here show that these cells also contain an ectoplasmic enzyme, distinct from NADPH oxidase, which can generate superoxide (2.19 +/- 0.14 nmol/min per 10(6) cells) at levels similar to phorbol ester-stimulated monocytes on exogenous NADH addition. Superoxide generation was temperature-dependent, insensitive to chelation (desferal), and had a K(m) (app)(NADH) of 11.5 microM. Inhibitor studies showed that there was no involvement of NADPH oxidase (diphenylene iodonium, diphenyl iodonium), prostaglandin H synthase (indomethacin), xanthine oxidase (allopurinol), cytochrome P-450 (metyrapone) or mitochondrial respiration (rotenone, antimycin A). NAD+ was a competitive inhibitor, whereas NADPH supported 40% of the rate seen with NADH. No luminescence was observed after the addition of lactate, malate, pyruvate, GSH or L-cysteine. NADH-stimulated superoxide generation was enhanced by the addition of (3-30 microM) arachidonic acid, linoleic acid or (5S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid [(5S)-HETE] but not palmitic acid, (15S)-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid [(15S)-HPETE], (15S)-HETE or (12S)-HETE. Several features suggest involvement of an enzyme related to 15-lipoxygenase, and, in support of this, we show superoxide generation and NADH oxidation by recombinant rabbit reticulocyte 15-lipoxygenase. The large amounts of superoxide measured suggest that the fibroblast extracellular enzyme could be a major source of reactive oxygen species after tissue damage.
