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

backgroundEighteen-hydroxycortisol (18-OHF) is a potential biomarker for differential diagnosis of the two major primary aldosteronism subtypes, aldosterone-producing adenoma, and idiopathic hyperaldosteronism.

methodsUrine samples were processed, and the 18-OHF in urine samples were successfully quantified by in-house established dilute-and-shoot liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. Separation was accomplished on a Sigma Ascentis Express C18 column with a gradient mixture of phase (A) 0.2% formic acid in water and phase (B) 0.2% formic acid in methanol at a flow rate of 0.4 ml/min. Mass spectrometric detection was performed in positive electrospray ionization mode via a mass spectrometer.

resultsThe linearity of urinary 18-OHF ranged from 4.28 to 8.77 × 10

conclusionThe presented dilute-and-shoot LC-MS/MS method for 18-OHF quantification showed a good performance in the clinical application. Furthermore, the sex-specific reference intervals for 24-h urinary 18-OHF were first established and quite important for its application in primary aldosteronism subtyping.
