Effects of a changeover from other angiotensin II receptor blockers to olmesartan on left ventricular hypertrophy in heart failure patients.
Trial report in Heart and vessels, 2017. 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
Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH) is an independent cardiovascular risk factor for heart failure (HF) patients. The renin-angiotensin system plays a key role in LVH, and since olmesartan increases plasma angiotensin-(1-7) through an increase in angiotensin-converting enzyme-related carboxypeptidase (ACE2) expression, it was hypothesized to reduce LVH, unlike other angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). The objective of this study was therefore to investigate the effects of a changeover from other ARBs to olmesartan on LVH in HF patients. Participants enrolled in this prospective trial were 64 outpatients with stable HF who had received ARBs other than olmesartan for more than 1 year (age: 59 ± 13 years). Transthoracic echocardiography and laboratory tests were performed before and 6 months after administration of olmesartan. Other drugs were not changed during follow-up. The primary end point was defined as a change in LV mass index (LVMI) from baseline up to 6 months after administration of olmesartan. No significant changes were observed in blood pressures and heart rate after administration of olmesartan. LVMI showed a significant decrease from 119 ± 38 to 110 ± 24 g/m
