The role of olmesartan medoxomil in the management of hypertension.
Review in Drugs, 2004. 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
Intensive blood pressure control is a desirable and obtainable goal in patients with hypertension, according to the most recent treatment guidelines from Europe and the US. Achieving target blood pressure depends on the efficacy of antihypertensive treatment and patient compliance. Olmesartan medoxomil, a non-peptidergic angiotensin AT1 receptor antagonist, has been shown to be effective and well tolerated. Continuation of initial treatment is higher with AT1 receptor antagonists than for any other class of antihypertensive drugs. Olmesartan medoxomil may also have end-organ protective effects that provide additional clinical benefit. Optimal blood pressure control may be achieved faster if initial treatment contains the most efficacious and well tolerated antihypertensive drug or drugs. The ongoing European study, known as OLMEBEST (Efficacy and safety of OLMEsartan: reduction of Blood pressure in the treatment of patients suffering from mild to moderate ESsenTial hypertension), will provide important information on the use of olmesartan medoxomil as an initial treatment for hypertension.
