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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundNebivolol is a novel, beta(1)-adrenergic receptor blocker with vasodilatory properties mediated through activation of the L-arginine/nitric oxide pathway. HYPOTHESIS: This multicenter, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study investigated the antihypertensive efficacy and safety of nebivolol in patients with stage I through stage II hypertension (sitting diastolic blood pressure [SiDBP] > or = 95 mm Hg and < or = 109 mm Hg).

methodsA total of 811 patients were randomized to placebo or nebivolol 5 mg, 10 mg, or 20 mg once daily for 12 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was the reduction in mean trough SiDBP from baseline.

resultsAt study end, the least squares mean reductions in trough SiDBP from baseline with nebivolol 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg were - 7.8 mm Hg, - 8.5 mm Hg, and - 9.1 mm Hg, respectively, compared with - 4.6 mm Hg for placebo (P = .002 for nebivolol 5 mg, P<.001 for nebivolol 10 mg and 20 mg, vs placebo). Nebivolol treatment also produced reductions in trough sitting systolic blood pressure; however, only the 20 mg dose was statistically significant compared with placebo (-6.7 mm Hg vs - 0.4 mm Hg; P<.001). Response rates (defined as an average trough SiDBP < 90 mm Hg or a decrease by > or = 10 mm Hg from baseline at the end of the study) ranged from 66.0% to 68.9% with nebivolol 5-20 mg, compared with 49.3% with placebo (P< or =.009). Nebivolol 5 mg and 10 mg doses were well tolerated, with an overall adverse event incidence comparable to placebo.

conclusionsOnce-daily nebivolol is an effective antihypertensive agent in patients with stage I-II hypertension.
