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

purpose of reviewThe endothelin system is a highly relevant component of the pathophysiology of hypertension, which is currently unopposed by existing treatment approaches. We examined the role of dual endothelin receptor antagonists in the treatment of resistant hypertension. RECENT

findingsThe recent PRECISION trial demonstrated significant blood pressure lowering effect with the use of the dual endothelin receptor antagonist aprocitentan in the treatment of resistant hypertension. Aprocitentan was shown to be particularly effective in patients over 75 years of age, African-American patients, and patients with diabetes and advanced CKD. There was also a decrease in proteinuria. Aprocitentan was well tolerated and the risk of fluid retention can be mitigated by close clinical monitoring and titration of diuretic therapy. Aprocitentan presents a novel treatment option for resistant hypertension, with particular efficacy noted in patient cohorts who have historically been challenging to achieve blood pressure targets in.
