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-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are among the most widespread drugs for the prevention of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Nevertheless, they are known to cause bradykinin (BK)-mediated angioedema (AE), a paroxysmal, localized, self-limiting, and potentially fatal swelling of the subcutaneous and/or submucosal tissue, due to a temporary increase in vascular permeability. Unlike hereditary angioedema (HAE), which can be mediated similarly by BK, no diagnostic tools, guidelines, or drugs have yet been approved for the diagnosis and treatment of acute non-allergic drug-induced AE. Besides ACEIs and ARBs, inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV, neprilysin inhibitors, and tissue plasminogen activators are known to cause AE as an adverse effect. Currently, there are insufficient data on the prevention of AE caused by pharmacological therapies. In addition, the molecular mechanisms underlying BK-mediated AE caused by drugs, which are discussed here, are not fully explained. Specific approved drugs and a structured diagnostic workflow are unmet needs and are required for the management of this kind of AE. The aim of this review is to provide physicians with accurate knowledge of potentially life-threatening drug reactions so that they can be better understood and managed.
