Review in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06539234 (Angiotensin II Stress Test. Renin Kinetics During Treatment of Vasoplegic Shock With Angiotensin II in Relation to Hemodynamic Response to Treatment With Angiotensin II.), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 papers.

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.

Abstract

Angiotensin receptor blockers are one of several drug classes that act by hindering activity of the renin-angiotensin axis. Angiotensin receptor blockers act by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to the angiotensin type 1 receptor but not the angiotensin type 2 receptor. Compounds in this class are as effective as most other antihypertensive drug classes in reducing blood pressure in the patient with hypertension. The mechanism of action of an angiotensin receptor blocker, which seemed a straightforward proposition early on, has of late become more convoluted with a host of class and compound-specific concerns having emerged. As the mechanistic basis for the action(s) of angiotensin receptor blockers more completely unfolds, added credence may ultimately be lent to widely touted and often overstated intraclass differences.
