Amlodipine Vs. hydrochlorothiazide: is there any disparity in its antihypertensive effect or not?
Article in Clinical hypertension, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We have read the article "Comparison of effects between calcium channel blocker and diuretics in combination with angiotensin II receptor blocker on 24-h central blood pressure and vascular hemodynamic parameters in hypertensive patients: study design for a multicenter, double-blinded, active controlled, phase 4, randomized trial" by GC Oh., et al. and found it quite interesting to learn the testing of effectiveness between amlodipine and hydrochlorothiazide in combination with losartan. After 4 weeks of therapy, non-responders were exposed for dose titration of losartan/amlodipine 100/5 mg daily or losartan/hydrochlorothiazide 100/25 mg daily. However, authors didn't increase in the amlodipine dose from 5 to 10 mg from randomization. However, as per literature both drugs are non-significant in their blood pressure lowering effect. The clarification on above point will further allay the efficacy concerns of clinicians and result in wider usage of future published data.
