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

purpose of reviewPrimary aldosteronism (PA) is a common form of hypertension characterized by autonomous aldosterone secretion from one or both adrenal glands. The purpose of this review is to synthesize recent research findings regarding cardiovascular disease risk in PA both pre- and post-targeted therapy. RECENT

findingsPreviously considered a rare disease, recent prevalence studies demonstrate that PA is actually a very common, yet vastly under-diagnosed, etiology of hypertension. Prior to targeted therapy, PA is associated with substantially higher rates of cardiovascular disease compared with essential hypertension. Surgical adrenalectomy is highly effective in curing or improving hypertension as well as mitigating cardiovascular disease risk in patients with unilateral PA. For the remainder of PA patients, MR antagonists are recommended; however, several recent studies have brought into question their effectiveness in improving cardiovascular outcomes. PA is a common cause of hypertension that leads to disproportionately high rates of cardiovascular disease. Future studies are needed to enhance the clinical approach to both identification and treatment of patients with PA to optimize long-term cardiovascular outcomes.
