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

Superselective adrenal arterial embolization (SAAE) appears to be beneficial in primary aldosteronism (PA) patients with lateralized aldosterone secretion (unilateral PA). As confirmed by adrenal vein sampling (AVS), nearly 40% of PA patients would be PA without lateralized aldosterone secretion (bilateral PA). We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of SAAE on bilateral PA. We identified 171 bilateral PA patients from 503 PA patients who completed AVS. Thirty-eight bilateral PA patients received SAAE, and 31 completed a median 12-month clinical follow-up. The blood pressure and biochemical improvements of these patients were carefully analyzed. 34% of patients were identified as bilateral PA. Plasma aldosterone concentration, plasma renin activity, and aldosterone/renin ratio (ARR) were significantly improved 24-h after SAAE. SAAE was associated with 38.7% and 58.6% of complete/partial clinical and biochemical success within a median 12-month follow-up. A significant reduction in left ventricular hypertrophy was shown in patients who obtained complete biochemical success compared with partial/absent biochemical success. SAAE was associated with a more apparent nighttime blood pressure reduction than daytime blood pressure reduction in patients with complete biochemical success. No major adverse safety events related to SAAE were reported during the intraoperative, postoperative, and follow-up periods. SAAE was associated with blood pressure and biochemical improvements in part of bilateral PA and appeared safe. The biochemistry success was accompanied by improved cardiac remodeling and a more prominent decrease in nocturnal blood pressure. This study was part of a trial registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, number ChiCTR2100047689.
