Aortic dissection due to primary aldosteronism in a young adult with adrenal adenoma: A case report.
Article in Journal of cardiology cases, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Although acute type A aortic dissection is relatively rare in young adults, patients with connective tissue diseases are at a higher risk for developing this condition. To the best of our knowledge, type A aortic dissection due to endocrine diseases has been rarely reported. Here, we present a case of acute type A aortic dissection due to primary aldosteronism in a young man with adrenal adenoma. Total arch replacement was successfully performed. Postoperative imaging and endocrine evaluation revealed an adrenal adenoma. This study highlights the importance of considering primary aldosteronism as a potential etiology of acute aortic dissection in young adults. Learning objective: Generally, direct or indirect causes of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) are highly diversified. We tend to suspect the familial aortic diseases such as Marfan syndrome when patients with ATAAD are young adults. By contrast, it is useful to know that endocrine diseases such as primary aldosteronism with functional adenoma can be risk factors of ATAAD in young adults.
