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

The approval of synthetic human angiotensin II (Giapreza, LaJolla Pharmaceuticals) by the FDA in December 2017 provides clinicians with a new tool in the treatment of distributive shock. Angiotensin II (ATII) was approved based on the results of the ATHOS-3 trial. In this trial, patients who received angiotensin II were more likely to achieve a mean arterial pressure of 75 mmHg or an increase in mean arterial pressure of 10 mmHg above that seen in patients who received a placebo. However, the results of ATHOS-3 also highlighted important concerns about thrombotic and infectious complications associated with ATII. Given that the cost of medication acquisition is approximately $1,500 per vial, practitioners must also decide how to implement ATII into practice in the most cost-effective manner. This commentary examines the current controversies surrounding both the safety and efficacy of ATII.
