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

Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) has been associated with atherosclerosis beyond the extent of essential hypertension, but the impact of albuminuria remains unknown. Objective: To investigate the effect of concomitant albuminuria on arterial stiffness in PA. Design: Prospective cohort study. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate the association of albuminuria (>30 mg/g in morning spot urine) with arterial stiffness, as measured non-invasively by pulse wave velocity (PWV) in patients with PA. Propensity score matching (PSM) with age, sex, diabetes, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, creatinine, potassium, number of antihypertensive medications, and hypertension history was used to balance baseline characteristics. The effects of albuminuria on PWV before and 1 year after treatment were analyzed. Results: A total of 840 patients with PA were enrolled, of whom 243 had concomitant albuminuria. After PSM, there were no significant differences in baseline demographic parameters except alpha-blocker and spironolactone use. PWV was greater in the presence of albuminuria ( Conclusion: Concomitant albuminuria in PA was associated with greater arterial stiffness and more substantial improvement after targeted treatment. Both the baseline and the improved extent of PWV increased in correlation with rising urine albumin-creatinine ratio levels, reaching a plateau when the urine albumin-creatinine ratio surpassed 100 mg/g.
