New drugs for hypertension: what do they offer?
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A new drug might make a positive contribution to existing therapies for hypertension by: 1) reducing blood pressure (BP) via a novel pharmacologic mechanism; 2) possessing pharmacologic or pharmacokinetic properties that make it superior to other members of its class; or 3) facilitating BP control in refractory patients. In this paper, we review four experimental agents that promise to advance therapeutics by one of these mechanisms. Aliskiren is the first in a new class of potent, orally effective renin inhibitors. Aliskiren produces dose-dependent BP reduction with few side effects and constitutes a novel pharmacologic approach to renin-angiotensin-aldosterone inhibition. Nebivolol is a third-generation, cardioselective beta-blocker that produces vasodilation and improves endothelial function via the l-arginine/nitric oxide pathway. Clevidipine is an ultra-short-acting, vascular-selective, dihydropyridine calcium antagonist that is being developed for intravenous use in acute hospitalized patients. Darusentan is an endothelin(A) selective endothelin receptor antagonist that is effective in achieving BP control in a significant percentage of patients who remain uncontrolled despite treatment with three or more antihypertensive drugs.
