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

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a major regulatory system controlling many different homeostatic mechanisms both within the brain and in the periphery. While it is primarily associated with blood pressure and salt/water regulation, increasing evidence points to the involvement of the RAS in both headache disorders specifically and pain regulation in general. Several publications have indicated that drugs blocking various elements of the renin-angiotensin system lead to a reduction in migraine. Additionally, interventions on different angiotensin peptides or their receptors have been shown to both reduce and increase pain in animal models. As such, modulation of the renin-angiotensin system is a promising approach to the treatment of headaches and other pain conditions.
