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

Background: Besides being commonly used to treat high blood pressure, beta blockers are a family of drugs that are primarily used to regulate irregular cardiac rhythms. Nebivolol is a third generation of beta blockers, which is highly cardioselective, about three times as selective as bisoprolol. In this study, we aimed to evaluate Nebivolol's effectiveness and safety in comparison to other beta blockers. Methods: We searched the online databases PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane Library for relevant RCTs evaluating Nebivolol's effect on hypertension management. Relative risk (WRR) and weighted mean difference (WMD), with a 95% confidence interval (CI) were utilized to quantify the impact of nebivolol medication in the treatment of hypertension using a random effects model. Results: Twelve RCTs are included in the study, the patient numbers in every attempt ranged from 42-273 and 1456 patients in all were included in this review. Nebivolol does not significantly reduce SBP, DBP and HR compared to other beta blockers (WMD -0.57 mmHg, 95% CI [-1.55; 0.42 mmHg] p=0.12; WMD -0.27 mmHg, 95% CI [-1.36; 0.82 mmHg] p=0.63 ; WMD 0.10 BPM, 95% CI [-4.11;1.31 BPM] p=0.96, respectively). Patients treated with Nebivolol has significantly lower LDL-C (WMD -8.88 mg/dL, 95% CI [-15.28; -2.48 mg/dL] p=0.007) and significantly higher HDL-C (WMD 2.30 mg/dL, 95% CI [0.75; 3.84 mg/dL] p=0.004. Conclusions: According to this study's findings, nebivolol is well tolerated and decreases LDL-C. And higher HDL-C than other beta blocker agents. This review does not recommend nebivolol as first-line treatment in hypertension as Nebivolol does not significantly reduce blood pressure and HR of patients.
