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

backgroundAldosterone excess in primary aldosteronism (PA) has been linked to insulin resistance, and diabetes mellitus has been associated with increased arterial stiffness and worse cardiovascular outcomes. However, the impact of diabetes on baseline and post-treatment arterial stiffness in patients with PA is unknown.

methodsThis study prospectively enrolled 1071 PA patients, of whom 177 had diabetes and 894 did not. Clinical, biochemical, and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) data were analyzed at baseline and 1 year after PA-specific treatment. After propensity score matching of age, sex, body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, hypertension duration, and number of antihypertensive medications, 144 patients with diabetes and 320 without diabetes were included for further analysis.

resultsAfter propensity score matching, the baseline characteristics were balanced between the diabetes and nondiabetes groups except for fasting glucose, HbA1c, and lipid profiles. The patients with diabetes had significantly worse baseline baPWV compared with those without diabetes. After multivariable linear regression, the presence of diabetes mellitus remained a significant predictor of worse baseline mean baPWV (β: 46.3, 95% confidence interval: 2.9-89.7,

conclusionThe presence of diabetes mellitus in PA patients was associated with worse baseline and less post-treatment recovery of arterial stiffness.
