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

Background: Local angiotensin activity is thought to play a critical role in arterial wall homeostasis and remodeling, and impaired arterial wall integrity contributes to the pathogenesis of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Here we aimed to assess the association between pharmacologic inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme and subsequent nontraumatic SAH. Methods: In a retrospective cohort study based on Optum's Clinformatics Datamart deidentified database records (2000-2021), we included all subjects with a history of hypertension. We collected medication history, and the exposure of interest was the use of an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker (ACEI/ARB). The primary outcome was the subsequent development of nontraumatic SAH. Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to compare the time to SAH by type of antihypertensive treatment. Results: A total of 7.5 million patients with hypertension were assessed. Patients on ACEI/ARBs with or without other antihypertensives (n = 4.8 million, follow-up: 6.3 years) had lower rates of SAH compared with those on alternative antihypertensive regimens (n = 1.3 million, follow-up: 5.7 years) (hazard ratio [HR]:0.94 [0.91-0.97]; Conclusion: Treatment of hypertension with ACEI/ARBs was associated with a lower risk of SAH than other types of antihypertensive agents, particularly with longer courses of therapy.
