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

Both angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE-I) and angiotensin II receptor blocker have been recognized as renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors. These two RAS inhibitors are rarely recognized as drugs with distinct pharmacological effects in the clinic or most clinical trials. Some preclinical basic research and clinical trials indicate that ACE-I might display superior organ-protective effects, especially anti-fibrotic effects. Such anti-fibrotic effects of ACE-I could be associated with an endogenous anti-fibrotic peptide, N-acetyl-seryl-aspartyl-lysyl-proline (AcSDKP). In this review, we focused on the anti-fibrotic effects of RAS inhibition and the endogenous anti-fibrotic peptide AcSDKP.
