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 the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Emerging evidence suggests that PA is associated with cardiovascular, metabolic, and renal complications, that likely develop insidiously, due to prolonged inappropriate mineralocorticoid receptor activation. In this review, we discuss the expanding clinical and pathological spectrum of PA. RECENT

findingsClinical and molecular studies conducted over the recent years reveal that PA traverses a series of contiguous stages. Pre-clinical, but hormonally overt PA has been identified in patients with normal blood pressure, and such patients harbor an increased risk of developing hypertension. Similarly, genetic and histopathological advancements have exposed a spectrum of PA pathology that corresponds to a continuum that spans from pre-clinical stages to florid PA. PA evolves from pre-hypertensive stages to resistant hypertension, along with serious cardiovascular and renal consequences. Early recognition of PA and targeted therapy will be essential for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality prevention in a large number of patients.
