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

Angiotensin II (AngII) receptor blockers (ARBs) are medications that lower systolic blood pressure (BP) by antagonizing the AngII type 1 receptor (AT1). However, ARBs have documented or suspected therapeutic properties in diseases not caused by high BP including diabetes, muscular dystrophy, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and Alzheimer's disease. ARBs have multiple pleiotropic properties; 'on-target' AT1-dependent pleiotropy can arise from blocking AngII-AT1 binding in non-BP-regulating cells or via inverse or biased ARB-AT1 agonism. In addition, activation of cells lacking AT1 by ARBs suggests the presence of AT1-independent 'off-target' pleiotropy, whereas supratherapeutic properties in the absence of further BP lowering have also been reported. Herein, to determine how ARB pleiotropy and supratherapeutic properties can be modelled in vitro or ex vivo, we perform a retrospective analysis of the literature that characterizes their maximal human plasma concentration, C
