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

In this article we emphasize the need for prompt intervention in diabetic patients with high blood pressure in order to protect the heart, brain, kidney, and the vascular tree against arteriosclerotic damage, which is the main cause of mortality in type 1, and particularly type 2 diabetes mellitus. Recent placebo-controlled, randomized trials indicate that compared with the nondiabetic population, a lower blood pressure threshold for intervention and a lower target blood pressure are adequate in terms of target organ protection. Although all major classes of antihypertensive drugs have demonstrated a potential benefit in treating diabetic hypertensive patients, blocking the renin-angiotensin system with angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors is especially useful in patients at high risk for myocardial infarction and/or renal damage. The new class of antihypertensive agents that block the angiotensin II receptor have renal effects very close to those observed with ACE inhibitors. The potential role of this new class in the treatment of hypertension in diabetes will depend on the results of ongoing trials.
