Intraprocedural Cortisol Measurement Increases Adrenal Vein Cannulation Success Rate in Primary Aldosteronism: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Synthesis in American journal of hypertension, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundThis study aimed to explore the effectiveness of intraprocedural cortisol measurement (IPCM) for the technical success rates of bilateral adrenal vein, right adrenal vein (RAV), and left adrenal vein (LAV) cannulation during adrenal vein sampling (AVS).
methodsSystematic searches of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were performed from database inception to May 10, 2023, without any restrictions. We estimated the overall effect estimates of outcomes using the Mantel-Haenszel random-effects model. We conducted subgroup analyses, meta-regression, and sensitivity analysis to explore the possible sources of between-study heterogeneity.
resultsIn total, 3,485 patients from 11 studies (three prospective and eight retrospective) were enrolled. Bilateral selectivity in patients who underwent IPCM during AVS was significantly higher than that in patients who underwent a routine AVS procedure (84% vs. 64%, RR 1.42, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.27-1.59, P < 0.01), with significant heterogeneity (I2 = 68%). A 42% relative risk reduction in the failure rate of bilateral adrenal vein cannulation was found in the IPCM group. Moreover, pooled analysis showed a significant increase in the success rates of RAV cannulation (84% vs. 72%, RR 1.21, 95% CI 1.12-1.31, P < 0.01, I2 = 33%) and LAV cannulation (89% vs. 84%, RR 1.05, 95% CI 1.02-1.08, P < 0.01, I2 = 4%) when IPCM was implemented during the AVS procedure compared to the routine AVS procedure.
conclusionsAn IPCM-based strategy during AVS appears to have a significant beneficial effect on improving the success rate of bilateral cannulation, RAV cannulation and LAV cannulation.
