A network meta-analysis of the effects of antihypertensive agents on incident diabetes

This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.

Several meta-analyses have attempted to assess the effects of different classes of antihypertensive agents on incident diabetes, but this approach has been hampered by trial heterogeneity, and a lack of comparison between angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs). Elliott and Meyer report on a network meta-analysis of data from 22 randomized controlled trials. The network meta-analysis technique enabled indirect comparison of the effects of ACE inhibitors and ARBs on incident diabetes.
