Utility of Repeat Sampling in Bilateral Aldosterone Suppression During Adrenal Vein Sampling for Primary Aldosteronism.

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
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common form of secondary hypertension. Accurate subtyping of PA is essential to identify unilateral disease, as adrenalectomy improves outcomes. Subtyping PA requires adrenal vein sampling (AVS), which is technically challenging and results from AVS may not always be conclusive. We present a case of a 37-year-old man with PA whose AVS studies were inconclusive due to apparent bilateral aldosterone suppression (ABAS). As a result, our patient was misdiagnosed as having bilateral PA and medically managed until a repeat AVS showed lateralization to the right adrenal gland. ABAS is an underrecognized phenomenon that may confound the subtyping of PA. We recommend repeating AVS in such cases and discuss strategies to minimize ABAS.
