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

Since April 2021, the plasma aldosterone concentration has been measured by chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) in Japan. In the present study, we developed a new CLEIA using a two-step sandwich method to measure the 24-hour urine aldosterone level. We collected 115 urine samples and measured 24-hour urine aldosterone levels employing radioimmunoassay (RIA), CLEIA, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The results showed that the 24-hour urine aldosterone levels measured using CLEIA and LC-MS/MS were significantly correlated (ρ = 0.992, P < 0.0001). Based on the results of Passing-Bablok regression analysis, the slope was 0.992 and the intercept -19.3. The 24-hour urine aldosterone levels measured using CLEIA and RIA were also significantly correlated (ρ = 0.905, P < 0.0001). However, the aldosterone level measured by CLEIA was lower than that measured by RIA (slope, 0.729; intercept, 120.9). In Japan, a new guideline for primary aldosteronism has been announced, with changes in the aldosterone measurement method. The cutoff values for oral sodium loading test (OSLT) were changed, but clinical verification using real-world urine samples has not been performed. Therefore, we examined the cut-off value of the 24-hour urine aldosterone level after the OSLT. Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed a cut-off value for primary aldosteronism of 3 μg/day.
