A Rare Independent Left Inferior Phrenic Vein Sampling in a Left Adrenal Aldosterone-Producing Adenoma.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 papers.
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
This report presents a case of left adrenal aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) diagnosed by segmental adrenal venous sampling in a patient with primary aldosteronism and a rare venous anomaly in which the left inferior phrenic vein (LIPV) and adrenal central vein entered the left renal vein separately. The outflow of tumor blood into the LIPV and the specimen from the LIPV that showed much higher aldosterone level than that from the adrenal central vein and tributaries were useful for proving the aldosterone hypersecretion from the APA. Sampling from the LIPV could be of diagnostic value for left APA.
