Effects of captopril treatment versus placebo on renal function in type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria: a long-term study.
Trial report in The Clinical investigator, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
We evaluated the renal effect of long-term antihypertensive treatment (12 months) with the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril compared to placebo in 15 type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria. The patients were randomly allocated to captopril (n = 9) or placebo (n = 6). After 1-year therapy no significant decrease in blood pressure was demonstrated with captopril (139 +/- 17/80 +/- 9 versus 138 +/- 13/76 +/- 6 mmHg) or placebo (138 +/- 9/75 +/- 6 versus 135 +/- 14/79 +/- 10 mmHg). Only in a small hypertensive subgroup (n = 4) treated with captopril did we find a significant reduction in blood pressure (154 +/- 2/88 +/- 1 versus 142 +/- 7/78 +/- 5 mmHg, P < 0.05). The urinary albumin excretion rate did not change significantly either in the captopril group (95.6 mg/24 h, 25th percentile 138.4, 75th percentile 25.1; versus 127.8 mg/24 h, 25th percentile 29.3, 75th percentile 222) or in the placebo group (99.2 mg/24 h, 25th percentile 58.5, 75th percentile 125.8; versus 120.9 mg/24 h, 25th percentile 62.1, 75th percentile 179.7). There were also no alterations in renal blood flow or filtration rate. In the hypertensive subgroup treated with captopril a reduction in urinary albumin excretion rate after 3 and 6 months of treatment was observed (captopril 73.4 versus 24 and 41 mg/24 h, P < 0.05), but not after 12 months. Triglyceride and cholesterol levels remained constant before and after treatment while glycosylated hemoglobin decreased significantly after 12 months captopril (7.8 +/- 0.9 versus 6.9 +/- 0.7 mg%, P < 0.03).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
