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

The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of several conditions such as hypertension, heart failure and chronic kidney disease. In the last fifty years different therapeutic strategies, including angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi), type 1 angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitors (ARNi), have been developed to counteract this neurohormonal dysregulation. However, all these therapeutic strategies have a relatively short-term action and they need to be administered orally once or more times every day to achieve the therapeutic purposes with a risk of poor therapeutic adherence.More recently, the search for a new effective strategy to provide a long-term control of hypertension was recently boosted by the availability of novel technologies, such as the angiotensinogen suppression in the liver realized through the silencing of RNA with zilebesiran, a small interfering RNA (siRNA) agent.The purpose of this article is to review the available data on Zilebesiran and to discuss in detail potential advantages in the clinical use as well as the still unresolved potential risks.
