Endothelin antagonists and heart failure.
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Chronic heart failure (CHF) is characterized by impaired left ventricular function, increased peripheral and pulmonary vascular resistance, reduced exercise tolerance, and dyspnea. Despite considerable progress in the treatment of CHF, especially in targeting activated neurohumoral systems, mortality in these patients remains high. Therefore, new treatment approaches are warranted. Endothelin-1 (ET-1) plasma levels are elevated in CHF and correlate with both hemodynamic severity and symptoms. Plasma levels of ET-1 are strong independent predictors of mortality in CHF. Combined ET(A/B) selective ET(A) receptor antagonists have been evaluated in patients with CHF showing impressive hemodynamic improvements. These results indicate that ET receptor antagonists indeed have a potential to improve hemodynamics, symptoms, and potentially prognosis in patients with CHF, which still carries a high mortality.
