Nitric Oxide Signaling in Cardiovascular Physiology and Pathology: Mechanisms, Dysregulation, and Therapeutic Frontiers.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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), a fundamental gaseous signaling molecule, is indispensable for cardiovascular homeostasis. This review synthesizes the expansive field of NO biology within the unifying framework of Nitric Oxide Equilibrium (NOE), i.e., the critical balance between its synthesis, bioavailability, and degradation. In a physiological state, NOE maintains vascular health by regulating blood pressure, preventing thrombosis, suppressing inflammation, and optimizing both cardiac and mitochondrial function. Here, we analyze how NOE disruption, primarily through oxidative stress and enzymatic dysfunction, underlies the pathogenesis of major cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, heart failure, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and cerebrovascular diseases like stroke. A critical evaluation of therapeutic strategies designed to restore NOE is presented, encompassing classic NO donors and phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, alongside next-generation soluble guanylate cyclase modulators and precision nanomedicine approaches. By identifying key knowledge gaps and methodological hurdles, this review charts a course for future research focused on biomarker-guided interventions and personalized medicine. Ultimately, we frame the restoration of NOE as a paramount therapeutic goal, crucial to translating decades of molecular research into effective clinical practice.
