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.

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.

Abstract

Primary aldosteronism is a frequent cause of resistant hypertension and is associated with an increased risk of developing diabetes mellitus. Aldosterone impairs insulin secretion in isolated islets, and insulin secretion is increased in aldosterone synthase-deficient mice. We hypothesized that treatment for primary aldosteronism increases insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity in humans. We conducted a prospective cohort study in patients with primary aldosteronism, with assessment of glucose metabolism before and 3 to 12 months after treatment. Participants underwent treatment for primary aldosteronism with adrenalectomy or a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist at the discretion of their treating physician. We assessed insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity by hyperglycemic and hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps, respectively, on 2 study days after a 5-day standardized diet. After treatment, the C-peptide and insulin response during the hyperglycemic clamp increased compared with pretreatment (ΔC-peptide at 90-120 minutes +530.5±384.1 pmol/L,
