Endothelin antagonists for hypertension: has their time finally arrived?
Review in Clinical science (London, England : 1979), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
There have been few new treatments introduced for hypertension in the last thirty years. The endothelin (ET) system was discovered in 1988, and in the following years, it was demonstrated that it participated in the elevation of blood pressure and vascular remodeling in experimental models of hypertension, particularly those with more severe forms of hypertension. Several selective and dual antagonists of ETA receptors (ETARs) and ETB receptors (ETBRs) were developed, but none reached marketing for human hypertension. Following a successful trial in resistant hypertension, a novel antihypertensive agent has been approved in Europe and in the U.S.A.: the dual ETAR/ETBR antagonist aprocitentan, which was recently approved for the treatment of hypertension in combination with other antihypertensive drugs, to lower blood pressure in adult patients who are not adequately controlled on other drugs. Thus, the time has finally arrived for ET antagonists in hypertension.
