Clinical Utility of the Adrenocorticotropin Stimulation Test with/without Dexamethasone Suppression for Definitive and Subtype Diagnosis of Primary Aldosteronism.

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
The adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) stimulation test (AST) has been reported to be useful for diagnosing primary aldosteronism (PA), particularly for differentiating PA subtypes under 1-mg dexamethasone suppression (DS). The aim of our study was to clarify the effect of 1-mg DS on AST results. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data for 48 patients (PA: 30/48). We estimated the difference in plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) responsiveness to ACTH stimulation with single (AST alone) and combined (AST under 1-mg DS) tests within the same patient. We compared the diagnostic accuracy of these two tests for PA and the laterality of hyperaldosteronism. We found no differences in PAC responsiveness to ACTH stimulation between single and combined tests, and observed a significant positive linear relationship (30 min,
