Endothelin Receptor Antagonists: New Hope for Renal Protection?
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2015. 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
Endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) have the potential to be a new paradigm in the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD). ERAs inhibit the effects of endothelin-1 (ET-1), which is known to promote CKD by causing renal cellular injury, proteinuria, inflammation, fibrosis, and hypertrophy. ERAs have been extensively studied preclinically in models of CKD and now in a large clinical trial to determine their effect on slowing the progression of CKD. Initial clinical trials show promise with regard to ERA effects on reducing proteinuria in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) who are already on renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blocking agents. A common side effect of peripheral edema has been consistently reported in clinical trials using ERAs; hence, finding a safe balance between renoprotective actions and side effects needs to be achieved.
