Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia in Children: The Relationship between Plasma Renin Activity and Hypertension.
Observational study in Iranian journal of medical sciences, 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
Background: Children with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) have a higher chance of hypertension. The likelihood of hypertension is higher in CAH children who get fludrocortisone medication and have an over-suppression. Plasma renin activity (PRA) is a sensitive indicator when the fludrocortisone dose is insufficient. The objective of this study is to assess the relationship between plasma renin activity with hypertension in 21-hydroxylase-deficient (21-OHD) CAH children. Methods: This cross-sectional observational analytical study was conducted in 2019 at the Pediatric Endocrinology Outpatient Clinic in Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM), Jakarta, Indonesia. The subjects were 21-OHD CAH children, aged >6 months to 18 years who had already taken hydrocortisone with or without fludrocortisone for at least 6 months, and were divided into hypertension and non-hypertension groups. The subjects were selected by a consecutive sampling method. Data was analyzed using SPSS software (version 23.0) with unpaired Results: Forty 21-OHD CAH patients were included, and 20 subjects (50%) had hypertension. A higher incidence of hypertension was found in salt-wasting CAH than in simple virilizing types (59.3% vs 30.8%). There was a significant mean difference in PRA levels between hypertension and non-hypertension groups in salt-wasting patients (P=0.016). A significant difference between the last dose of hydrocortisone with the number of hypertension patients in salt-wasting patients (P=0.032) was found, and low PRA levels showed a 1.09 times higher risk of hypertension. Conclusion: Children with salt-wasting CAH with low PRA levels had a higher risk of getting hypertension.
