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

It is unclear whether single and combined pharmacologic inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system have similar effects on endothelial function and blood pressure (BP). The authors evaluated 63 hypertensive patients divided into 4 groups (hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg/d; irbesartan [IRBE] 150 mg/d; quinapril [QUIN] 20 mg/d; or IRBE 150 mg/d + QUIN 20 mg/d) and 25 healthy normotensive subjects (normal) followed for 12 weeks. Endothelium-dependent dysfunction measured as flow-mediated dilation at Weeks 0 and 12 were: normal, 11.5%±2.4% vs 13.5%±2.0%; hydrochlorothiazide, 7.3%±2.0% vs 12.8%±3.1%; QUIN, 7.2%±2.8% vs 13.2%±2.1%; IRBE, 7.1%±2.8% vs 13.0%±2.9%; and IRBE + QUIN, 7.5%±1.9% vs 12.8%±3.0%. Nitroglycerin-mediated responses were: normal, 26.0%±1.9% vs 24.0%±2.5%; hydrochlorothiazide, 17.0%±2.2% vs 18.3%±2.6%; QUIN, 17.8%±3.2% vs 23.4%±3.0%; IRBE, 16.8%±3.6% vs 24.7%±2.0%; and IRBE + QUIN, 17.3%±3.0% vs 25.1%±2.5%. Antihypertensive therapy restored BP to normal and improved the endothelium-dependent and -independent dysfunction after renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade. In a further finding, the combined effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition and angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockade was not superior to the action of either of these treatments separately.
