End-organ protection in patients with hypertension: focus on the role of angiotensin receptor blockers on renal function.
Review in Drugs, 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 renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a key role in a number of pathophysiological mechanisms that are involved in the development and progression of cardiovascular and renal disease. For these reasons, pharmacological antagonism of this system, particularly the blockade of formation or the receptor antagonism of angiotensin II, has been demonstrated to be an effective and safe strategy to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease. Among different drug classes, angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonists (angiotensin receptor blockers [ARBs]) have provided an excellent alternative to ACE inhibitors, representing a more selective and a better tolerated pharmacological approach to interfere with the RAS. Results derived from large, international, randomized clinical trials have consistently indicated that ARB-based therapeutic strategies may effectively provide cardiovascular and renal disease prevention and protection in different clinical conditions across the entire cardiovascular continuum. This article reviews the pathophysiological rationale of RAS involvement in the pathogenesis of renal diseases, focusing on the beneficial effects provided by ARBs in terms of renal protection.
