Modulating atherosclerosis through inhibition or blockade of angiotensin.
Review in Clinical cardiology, 2003. 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
Angiotensin-convertng enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are well recognized for their benefits in treating hypertension and congestive heart failure and preventing postmyocardial infarction heart failure or left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Recently, blockade of the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor was shown to reduce cardiovascular events in hypertensive subjects with LV hypertrophy. Several lines of evidence are now converging to show that ACE inhibitors may affect the atherosclerotic process itself. Emerging clinical data indicate that angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) may possibly modulate atherosclerosis as well. The antiatherogenic properties of ACE inhibitors and ARBs may derive from inhibition or blockade of angiotensin II, now recognized as an agent that increases oxidative stress.Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition and angiotensin-receptor blockade also increase endothelial nitric oxide formation, which improves endothelial function. In contrast to the effects of ARBs, the vascular effects of ACE inhibitors may, in part, be mediated by an increase in bradykinin. This article reviews some of the biologic mechanisms whereby ACE inhibitors and ARBs may modulate atherosclerosis.
