Endothelin-receptor antagonists in arterial hypertension: further indications?
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2007. 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
Endothelin-1 exerts vasoactive, pro-inflammatory, hypertrophic, and profibrotic properties on the heart, kidney, and blood vessels. Hence, endothelin-receptor antagonists hold the potential to reduce blood pressure and to prevent complications of hypertension, atherosclerosis, and diabetes through blood pressure-independent effects on cardiovascular growth, inflammation, and fibrosis. These potentially important effects of endothelin antagonism may contribute to its therapeutic potential in hypertension and other cardiovascular disorders, including chronic renal failure and diabetes. First clinical trial evidence demonstrates a moderate reduction in blood pressure in studies of patients with mild-to-moderate essential hypertension and patients with resistant hypertension. Future large-scale randomized clinical trials will provide more insight into whether the blood-pressure reduction and promising pleiotropic effects observed with several members of this novel class of drugs, which are already established therapy in pulmonary hypertension, will translate into clinical benefit in patients with arterial hypertension.
