Nebivolol Effects on Nitric Oxide Levels, Blood Pressure, and Renal Function in Kidney Transplant Patients.
Trial report in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
In hypertensive kidney transplant recipients, the effects of nebivolol vs metoprolol on nitric oxide (NO) blood level, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and blood pressure (BP) have not been previously reported. In a 12-month prospective, randomized, open-label, active-comparator trial, hypertensive kidney transplant recipients were treated with nebivolol (n=15) or metoprolol (n=15). Twenty-nine patients (nebivolol [n=14], metoprolol [n=15]) completed the trial. The primary endpoint was change in blood NO level after 12 months of treatment. Secondary endpoints were changes in eGFR, BP, and number of antihypertensive drug classes used. After 12 months of treatment, least squares mean change in plasma NO level in the nebivolol kidney transplant recipient group younger than 50 years was higher by 68.19% (99.17% confidence interval [CI], 13.02-123.36), 69.54% (99.17% CI, 12.71-126.37), and 66.80% (99.17% CI, 12.95-120.64) compared with the metoprolol group younger than 50 years, the metoprolol group 50 years and older, and the nebivolol group 50 years and older, respectively. The baseline to month 12 change in mean arterial BP, eGFR, and number of antihypertensive drug classes used was not significantly different between the treatment groups. In hypertensive kidney transplant recipients, nebivolol use in patients younger than 50 years increased blood NO.
