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
backgroundThe prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, especially heart failure, continues to rise worldwide. In heart failure, increasing levels of circulating atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) are associated with a worsening of heart failure and a poor prognosis.
aimTo test whether a high concentration of BNP would inhibit relaxation to ANP.
methodsPulmonary arteries were dissected from disease-free areas of lung resection, as well as pulmonary artery rings of internal diameter 2.5-3.5 mm and 2 mm long, were prepared. Pulmonary artery rings were mounted in a multiwire myograph, and a basal tension of 1.61gf was applied. After equilibration for 60 min, rings were pre-constricted with 11.21 µmol/L PGF
resultsAlthough both ANP and BNP were found to vasodilate the pulmonary vessels, ANP is more potent than BNP. pEC50 of ANP and BNP were 8.96 ± 0.21 and 7.54 ± 0.18, respectively, and the maximum efficacy (E
conclusionBNP could be acting as a partial agonist in small human pulmonary arteries, and inhibits relaxation to ANP. Elevated levels of circulating BNP could be responsible for the worsening of decompensated heart failure. This finding could also explain the disappointing results seen in clinical trials of ANP and BNP analogues for the treatment of heart failure.
