Primary Hyperaldosteronism in a Normotensive Patient: A Case Report.
Article in International journal of endocrinology and metabolism, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a clinical syndrome characterized by hypertension, suppressed plasma renin activity (PRA), elevated plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC), and spontaneous hypokalemia. Case Presentation: We present a 37-year-old normotensive female with hypokalemia, high plasma aldosterone level, and suppressed renin. The patient was treated with eplerenone and potassium chloride supplement. Further investigation with a computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a mass in the left adrenal. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy led to the diagnosis of adrenal adenoma. Conclusions: Primary aldosteronism should be among the differential diagnoses in normotensive patients presenting with severe hypokalemia.
