Combination use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers in diabetic kidney disease.
Review in Current diabetes reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) have played a major role in slowing the progression of diabetic kidney disease, since they lower urine protein levels, lower blood pressure, and slow progression. Studies have suggested that the combination of ACE-I and ARB offered greater benefits for patients with diabetic kidney disease. In 2008, the large ONTARGET study reported no benefit with combination therapy, as compared with monotherapy. This study has changed practice patterns, but few patients in this study had diabetic kidney disease. In this review, the data in favor of the combination use of these agents in patients with diabetic kidney disease and data against the combination are reviewed. At this time, there is little support for using the combination in diabetic patients with no kidney disease or early stage diabetic kidney disease. But there are patients who may benefit from combination use.
