The role of nitric oxide in experimental murine sepsis due to pyrogenic exotoxin A-producing Streptococcus pyogenes.
Article in Infection and immunity, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Nitric oxide (NO) produced by inducible NO synthase (iNOS) mediates hypotension in endotoxemia. In this study, NO induction by a toxin-producing Streptococcus pyogenes isolate, H250, and by recombinant streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin A (rSPEA) has been examined, both in vitro and in vivo. Streptococcal supernatants, but not rSPEA, induce production of nitrite by murine macrophages when both are coincubated with gamma interferon. Intraperitoneal injection of rSPEA did not cause significant production of NO. However, an elevated level of nitrate in serum was detected in a model of streptococcal fasciitis due to live H250. iNOS was localized to Kupffer cells, hepatocytes, and renal tubular cells by immunostaining. Administration of a NOS inhibitor, N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA), reduced peak concentrations of nitrate in serum but did not affect survival. NO is induced by H250, both in vitro and in vivo, mainly via SPEA-independent mechanisms. In this model, iNOS is expressed predominantly in the liver. Furthermore, in this model L-NMMA is not protective.
