Simultaneous bilateral adrenal vein sampling for primary aldosteronism: useful tips to make it simple and safe.
Article in European radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is the key test for subtyping patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) before referring those with unilateral disease for laparoscopic unilateral adrenalectomy. However, it is still not systematically used, despite guidelines recommendations, because it is still considered as an invasive, risky, and challenging procedure. Simultaneous bilateral catheterization is believed to add technical difficulties inherent with attempting to catheterize both adrenal veins at the same time, but can be useful to minimize differences between the sides due to timing. We herein report on the protocol for routine clinical use. Tips for preparation of the patient as well as optimal catheterization of adrenal veins and sampling are provided to propose a protocol that is easy, safe, and reliable. Key Points • Adrenal vein sampling is the reference standard in the case of primary aldosteronism to detect the hyper-functioning side and allow subsequent treatment. • Simultaneous bilateral adrenal vein sampling avoids bias related to sampling timing. • Some technical suggestions concerning patient preparation and catheterization are proposed to make simultaneous adrenal vein sampling easier and safer.
