Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors and Other Medications Associated With Angioedema.
Review in Cureus, 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
Angioedema is a localized swelling of the dermis, subcutaneous tissues, and/or submucosal tissues caused by fluid extravasation into these tissues. Angioedema is associated with certain vasoactive molecules and is typically mediated by histamine or bradykinin. It manifests clinically as facial edema, swelling of the extremities and urogenital area, and potential involvement of the larynx, leading to dyspnea and inspiratory stridor, which can become life-threatening. Histamine-mediated angioedema is associated with urticaria and pruritus and will show classic signs of allergic (type 1 hypersensitivity) reactions. Bradykinin-mediated angioedema is often familial (hereditary angioedema) and is more often associated with gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), edema of the extremities and trunk, and a lack of urticaria and pruritus. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are a class of medications commonly prescribed for hypertension, heart failure, and diabetic nephropathy. ACEIs are associated with an increased risk of angioedema, which can range from a mild reaction to severe and life-threatening. ACEI-induced angioedema is a bradykinin-mediated reaction that can occur in individuals with a genetic predisposition. Other medications, such as angiotensin receptor blockers, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and certain antibiotics, most notably those in the beta-lactam class, can also cause drug-induced angioedema. The present investigation describes current knowledge of the pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, predisposing factors, and management of drug-induced angioedema.
