The Impact of Celiprolol in Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: A Systematic Review of Current Evidence.
Synthesis in Medical sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. 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
objectivesEhlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of connective tissue disorders characterized by mutations affecting collagen and extracellular matrix proteins. Vascular EDS (vEDS) stands out for its severe prognosis due to the heightened risk of arterial and organ rupture which significantly increase mortality rates. Limited strategies for treating vEDS are prompting exploration for alternatives such as celiprolol, a cardioselective beta-blocker with potential to reduce vascular stress and improve collagen integrity. This review aims to evaluate current evidence on the impact of celiprolol in managing vEDS.
methodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted across scientific databases for studies comparing celiprolol with placebo or other treatments, focusing on relevant outcomes.
resultsA total of 323 participants were included across studies published from 2010 to 2023, primarily conducted in European settings. Celiprolol administration, starting at 100 mg daily and titrated up to 400 mg, significantly reduced the incidence of major vascular events such as arterial dissections and ruptures. Most studies reported improved survival rates and fewer hospitalizations due to acute arterial events. Variations in treatment response and side effects such as dizziness and hypotension were noted across studies, occasionally leading to treatment.
conclusionsCeliprolol appears to be a promising treatment for reducing vascular events in vEDS patients, potentially improving quality of life and mitigating the substantial morbidity and mortality associated with vEDS. Future research should focus on refining treatment protocols, exploring mechanisms of action, and establishing comprehensive clinical guidelines to optimize patient outcomes.
