Class-Specific Effects of ARBs Versus ACE Inhibitors on Survival and Cardiovascular Outcomes in MASLD.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 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
Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), have been associated with improved outcomes in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We aimed to assess the differential impact of ACEIs versus ARBs on survival and cardiovascular outcomes in individuals with MASLD. Using data from the UK Biobank, we identified 52,143 participants with exclusive use of either an ACEI or ARB. Individuals with viral, autoimmune, cholestatic, or alcohol-related liver disease were excluded. MASLD was defined as fatty liver index ≥ 60 with ≥1 cardiometabolic risk factor. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to adjust for confounders. Outcomes included all-cause mortality, cardiovascular events, hepatic decompensation, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models. Among MASLD participants, ARB use was associated with significantly lower all-cause mortality compared to ACEI use (HR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.90-1.00;
