Electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy regression induced by an angiotensin receptor blocker-based regimen in hypertensive patients with the metabolic syndrome: data from the SARA Study.
Trial report in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The authors assessed the effect of an angiotensin receptor blocker (candesartan)-based regimen on electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (ECG-LVH) in 276 patients with hypertension, including 141 with the metabolic syndrome (MS). Baseline blood pressure (BP) and ECG-LVH parameters did not differ in patients with and without MS. At the study's end, BP had decreased similarly in both groups. At baseline, 26.1% of patients with MS and 24.7% without MS exhibited ECG-LVH by Cornell product (CorP) criteria (P=NS); 26.8% and 17.2%, respectively, by Sokolow-Lyon product (SokP) (P=.01); 11.4%and 11.8% by Cornell voltage (CorV) (P=NS); and 12.4% and 6.5% by Sokolow-Lyon voltage (SokV) (P=.01). At the study's end, in the MS group, prevalence of ECG-LVH was reduced to 19.5% from 26.1% (P=.001), to 8.5% from 11.4% (P=.01), and to 24.4% from 26.8%(P=.03) by CorP, CorV, and SokP, respectively. In patients without MS, only the CorP criterion showed a significant decrease in ECG-LVH prevalence, declining to 20.5% (P=.01). The relative risk reduction of ECG-LVH was higher in patients with MS according to CorV and SokP criteria (P<.01).
