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) is a regulator of many biological functions including T helper 1 (Th1)/T helper 2 cells balance. It has been demonstrated that NO inhibits the secretion of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-gamma on Th1 cells. Here we showed that, in addition to the suppression of IL-2 production, NO-generating agents sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) increased the secretion of IL-4 both in Th2 clones and EL4 T cells. The additive effect was dependent on the dose of SNP and SNAP. Augmentation of IL-4 production was detected with 1 microM SNP, and up to threefold increase in IL-4 secretion could be observed with higher concentrations of SNP/SNAP. NO also weakly increased the activation of IL-4 promoter. In contrast, NO markedly inhibited the induction of IL-2 promoter, which could account for most of the reduction in IL-2 production. Analysis of the transcriptional elements on IL-2 and IL-4 promoters revealed a selective inactivation of NF-kappa B and NF-AT. It is suggested that despite the complex feedback network regulating NO production, the enhanced IL-4 expression would lead to the expansion of Th2 cells once NO is generated.
