Angiotensin II-receptor antagonist in the treatment of hypertension.
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Effective treatment of high blood pressure levels represents a crucial point in reducing global cardiovascular risk, and several studies have clearly demonstrated a significant reduction in cardiovascular and renal morbidity and mortality with a more intensive blood pressure-lowering treatment. Other factors beyond blood pressure control may be important in reducing the risk related to hypertension. Pharmacologic agents blocking the renin-angiotensin system, in particular the angiotensin II-receptor blocker (ARB), a novel class of antihypertensive agents, represent an important addition to the therapeutic options for hypertension management, and recent large, international, randomized, trials have demonstrated that ARBs have clinical benefits across the spectrum of disease severity. In this article, we provide some evidence derived from these trials, supporting a role for ARBs in primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular and renal disease, beyond blood pressure control.
