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

Primary aldosteronism is now thought to be the commonest potentially curable and specifically treatable form of hypertension. The detection of primary aldosteronism is of utmost importance not only because it provides an opportunity for a targeted treatment, but also because it has been demonstrated that patients with primary aldosteronism are more prone to cardiovascular events and target organ damage than essential hypertensives. Normalization of blood pressure and hypokalemia should not be the only goal of treatment. Normalization of circulating aldosterone or mineralocorticoid blockade is necessary to prevent aldosterone-induced tissue damage that occurs independent of blood pressure. This review will focus on the current understanding and comprehensive management review of primary aldosteronism, highlighting the new evidence that has become recently available.
