Small Interfering RNA Therapy for the Management and Prevention of Hypertension.
Review in Current hypertension reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purpose of reviewTo review currently existing knowledge on a new type of antihypertensive treatment, small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting hepatic angiotensinogen. RECENT
findingsTargeting angiotensinogen synthesis in the liver with siRNA allows reaching a suppression of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activity for up to 6 months after 1 injection. This might revolutionize antihypertensive treatment, as it could overcome non-adherence, the major reason for inadequate blood pressure control. Animal data support that its effects on blood pressure and end-organ damage are fully comparable to those of classical RAS blockers, and phase I and II clinical trials confirm its antihypertensive effectiveness and long-term action. Although its side effect profile is placebo-like, its long-term effects also pose a threat in patients who require immediate restoration of RAS activity, like in shock. Here tools are being developed, called REVERSIR, that allow immediate annihilation of the siRNA effect in the liver. One subcutaneous injection of angiotensinogen siRNA lowers blood pressure for 6 months without severe side effects. The decrease in angiotensinogen and blood pressure can be reversed with a drug called REVERSIR if needed.
