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

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) and its inhibitors are relevant to many physiological processes and diseases. The enzyme is differentially expressed throughout the body, in concentration and subcellular location, and as 13 catalytically active isoforms. Blood vessels contain small amounts of CA, but the enzyme's role in vascular physiology and blood pressure regulation is uncertain. However, considerable recent evidence points to vasodilation by CA inhibitors. CA inhibition in vascular smooth muscle, endothelium, heart, blood cells, and nervous system could all contribute. It is equally plausible that other targets besides CA for all known CA inhibitors may account for their vascular effects. I will review this knowledge and important remaining gaps relating to treatment of hypertensive-related diseases with potent sulfonamide inhibitors, such as acetazolamide; but also the possibility that CA inhibition by thiazides and loop diuretics, although generally weaker, may have antihypertensive effects beyond their inhibition of renal sodium transporters.
