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

The presence of slightly increased urinary albumin excretion (UAE), even at levels well below levels detectable by an ordinary dipstick, has been suggested as a predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and as a reflection of the degree of overall vascular permeability. The aim of the present investigation was to study the effects of two different antihypertensive drug regimens, an ACE inhibitor and a beta-adrenoceptor antagonist, on the low UAE rate observed in subjects with uncomplicated, mild to moderate primary hypertension. After a 4-week placebo run-in period, 49 patients (mean age 54 y) were randomly assigned in a double blind manner either to further 4 weeks on placebo (P, n = 15), 8 weeks on lisinopril (L, n = 17; 20 mg/40 mg o.d.) or 8 weeks on atenolol (A, n = 17; 50 mg/100 mg o.d.). The 24-h UAE was measured every second week. At entry and after 4 weeks the glomerular filtration rate and the renal plasma flow were measured. Both drugs lowered blood pressure (BP) to a similar extent after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment; the blood pressures were 160/106 (P), 159/104 (L) and 154/103 (A) at entry, and 133/83 (L) and 134/87 (A) at the end of the study after 8 weeks. On entry the 24-h UAE in all patients ranged from 4 to 49 mg (mean 14.1 mg), and it did not differ significantly between groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
