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

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of mortality, significantly influencing quality of life and causing a burden on the healthcare system. Current treatment strategies utilize modern therapeutics, such as sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors, which are both effective and safe. However, despite current medicines, acute cardiovascular events and chronic complications of CVDs remain significantly prevalent. Furthermore, CVDs are strongly linked to metabolic and inflammatory conditions that create a pathophysiological network of interactions, worsening the health of individuals. Therefore, identifying novel therapeutic targets and treatment combinations is of great importance to further mitigate the harmful effects of CVDs. Recently, aprocitentan, an endothelin-1 inhibitor, was approved to treat arterial hypertension. Meanwhile, endothelin has become a therapeutic target in CVDs, with inhibitors previously registered and used to treat pulmonary hypertension. Thus, this review aims to comprehensively discuss the role of endothelin-1 as a therapeutic target in CVDs and related disorders.
