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
objectiveThe present study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of Azelnidipine 16 mg and Telmisartan 40 mg compared to FDC of Amlodipine 5 mg and Telmisartan 40 mg in Indian essential hypertensive patients with a special focus on the impact on micro-albuminuria.
methodsThis prospective, randomized, open-label 12-week study enrolled 225 patients with treatment-naive stage II hypertensive patients or hypertensive patients not controlled on Telmisartan 40 mg monotherapy. The eligible participants were randomized to receive either FDC of Azelnidipine-Telmisartan (Test group; n=115) or FDC of Amlodipine-Telmisartan (Reference group; n=110). Efficacy was assessed via changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP), pulse rate (PR), and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), a marker of microalbuminuria. Safety parameters were evaluated by documenting the adverse effects.
resultsBoth groups showed significant reductions in SBP and DBP from baseline, with no statistical difference among the groups. However, the test group expressed a more favorable effect on pulse rate, displaying a significant reduction compared to the reference group. Additionally, the occurrence of pedal edema was significantly lower in the test group vs. the reference group (1.7% vs. 9.1%). Changes in UACR were nominal and comparable in both groups, indicating limited renoprotective effects.
conclusionCollectively, the study confirms that FDC of Azelnidipine-Telmisartan is as effective as the commonly used FDC of Amlodipine-Telmisartan combination for management of hypertension, with additional safety benefits related to heart rate and edema. These findings support the clinical utility of Azelnidipine in hypertensive patients with concerns associated with tachycardia or pedal edema.
