Do calcium channel blockers have renal protective effects?
Review in Drugs & aging, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Calcium channel blockers are used in the treatment of hypertension because of their ability to decrease peripheral vascular resistance. Recent research has suggested that these drugs also preserve or improve renal function in patients with essential hypertensive renal disease or diabetic renal disease, and in renal transplant recipients with or without cyclosporin therapy. In general, studies in animal models of hypertension and in hypertensive humans have demonstrated reduction in renal vascular resistance, and preservation or enhancement of renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration rate. In addition, calcium channel blockers appear to have a positive effect on renal addition, calcium channel blockers appear to have a positive effect on renal haemodynamic function in the setting of diabetes mellitus; prospective trials have also demonstrated reductions in urinary protein excretion in these patients. Current evidence suggests that calcium channel blockers are well-suited for the treatment of patients with hypertensive disease even in the presence of renal impairment, a clinical scenario common in the elderly population.
