Review in Current hypertension reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Hypertension contributes greatly to global disease burden and in many patients current treatments do not adequately control blood pressure (BP). Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a potent vasoconstrictor that is implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension, including the hypertension that is often associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the metabolic syndrome. ET receptor antagonists, currently licensed for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and scleroderma-related digital ulcers, are being investigated for the treatment of hypertension. Clinical trials have addressed the use of ET receptor antagonists as monotherapy in primary hypertension, as an add-on therapy in resistant hypertension and in CKD. This review will evaluate the current evidence regarding the therapeutic potential of ET receptor antagonists in hypertension, as well as highlighting important issues that still need to be addressed.
