Pleiotropic effects of angiotensin receptor blockers: addressing comorbidities by optimizing hypertension therapy.
Review in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The efficacy of angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) in the management of hypertension is well established. Whether these agents induce pleiotropic effects that promote the amelioration of vascular disorders independent of blood pressure reduction remains controversial. This review examines preclinical and clinical data that highlight a potentially important role for ARBs in several common vascular disorders, including cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, renal, and metabolic disorders. The preponderance of evidence suggests that some of the benefits derived from ARBs might improve outcomes in these disorders by actions that extend beyond blood pressure reduction. This review also identifies some potentially important differences in the mechanism of action between ARBs and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors that may have clinical significance in the management of vascular diseases.
