Aliskiren, the first direct renin inhibitor: assessing a role in pediatric hypertension and kidney diseases.
Review in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This article provides a review of the role of aliskiren, a direct renin inhibitor, in pediatric hypertension and kidney diseases. Among the many mechanisms involved in regulating blood pressure, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays a major role. Additionally, the RAAS has been identified as a contributing factor to cardiovascular and renal diseases for more than three decades. The potential benefits of inhibiting the RAAS by aliskiren alone or in combination with other RAAS blockers (ACEIs, ARBs) seem to be theoretically promising. However, caution should be exercised in treating children, especially in those with significant chronic kidney disease until there is more evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of this new drug in the pediatric population from ongoing clinical trials.
