Prescription of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors in Japan during the COVID-19 pandemic: interrupted time series study.
Article in Hypertension research : official journal of the Japanese Society of Hypertension, 2023. 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 surveyed changes in angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEIs) and angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARBs) prescription trends during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Japan. Data of 1,605,708 outpatients with hypertension were extracted from the Medical Data Vision database. Trends for prescription of ACEIs and ARBs were assessed by analyzing the proportion of these prescriptions in each month, between April 2018 and November 2020. The proportion of ARBs prescriptions changed significantly in trend between the peri-pandemic and pre-pandemic periods (-0.05%/month, P = 0.012). In contrast, the proportion of ACEIs prescriptions did not change significantly in trend in the peri-pandemic period (0.01%/month, P = 0.189). There was no suggestion that the prescribing of ACEIs and ARBs was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
