Primary Hyperaldosteronism and Renal Medullary Nephrocalcinosis: A Controversial Association.
Article in Oman medical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Primary hyperaldosteronism (PA) is a common disease with a prevalence of 5-10% in unselected patients with hypertension. Medullary nephrocalcinosis is a radiological diagnosis and refers to diffuse calcification in the renal parenchyma. The three commonest causes of nephrocalcinosis are hyperparathyroidism, distal renal tubular acidosis, and medullary sponge kidney. PA is not a recognized cause of nephrocalcinosis. There are a few case reports linking PA with nephrocalcinosis published till date. In this case series, we report three cases where PA was possibly associated with medullary nephrocalcinosis. In all three cases, the common causes of nephrocalcinosis were excluded by careful clinical history, biochemical evaluation, and radiological findings. We conclude and emphasize that a diagnosis of PA as an etiology of medullary nephrocalcinosis should be sought after common causes have been excluded, at least in those with hypertension that is difficult to control.
