The role and regulation of cardiac angiotensin-converting enzyme for noninvasive molecular imaging in heart failure.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Congestive heart failure is a pathologic condition characterized by progressive decrease in left ventricular contractility and consequent decline of cardiac output. There is convincing clinical and experimental evidence that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and its primary effector peptide, angiotensin II, are linked to the pathophysiology of interstitial fibrosis, cardiac remodeling, and heart failure. In addition to the traditional endocrine or circulating RAS, an active tissue RAS has been characterized. Tissue angiotensin-converting enzyme and locally synthesized angiotensin II, for example, by chymase, exert local trophic effects that modulate gene expression, which regulates growth and proliferation in both myocytes and nonmyocytes. The existence of the tissue RAS offers an opportunity for targeted imaging, which may be of considerable value for guiding medical therapy.
