Coexistence of Pheochromocytoma and Primary Aldosteronism due to Multiple Aldosterone-producing Micronodules in the Ipsilateral Adrenal Gland.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
A 46-year-old woman was referred for hypertension and a right adrenal tumor. Primary aldosteronism (PA) was suspected because of the high plasma aldosterone concentration-to-plasma renin activity ratio. However, a subsequent evaluation revealed coexistent PA and pheochromocytoma. We performed laparoscopic right adrenalectomy. Histology of the resected adrenal gland confirmed pheochromocytoma and multiple aldosterone-producing adrenocortical micronodules. Following adrenalectomy, the urinary catecholamine levels normalized, and hyperaldosteronism improved but persisted. Hypertension also improved but persisted and was normalized with spironolactone. The clinical course indicated that the PA lesions were likely bilateral. This was a histologically proven case of coexistent pheochromocytoma and PA due to multiple aldosterone-producing micronodules.
