Predicting the resolution of hypertension following adrenalectomy in primary aldosteronism: Controversies and unresolved issues a narrative review.
Review in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundHypertension resolution following adrenalectomy in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) remains a critical clinical challenge. Identifying preoperatively which patients will become normotensive is both a priority and a point of contention. In this narrative review, we explore the controversies and unresolved issues surrounding the prediction of hypertension resolution after adrenalectomy in PA.
methodsA comprehensive literature review was conducted, focusing on studies published between 1954 and 2024 that evaluated all studies that discussed predictive models for hypertension resolution post-adrenalectomy in PA patients. Databases searched included MEDLINE®, Ovid Embase, and Web of Science databases.
resultsThe review identified several predictors and predictive models of hypertension resolution, including female sex, duration of hypertension, antihypertensive medication, and BMI. However, inconsistencies in study designs and patient populations led to varied conclusions.
conclusionsAlthough certain predictors and predictive models of hypertension resolution post-adrenalectomy in PA patients are supported by evidence, significant controversies and unresolved issues remain. While the current predictive models provide valuable insights, there is a clear need for further research in this area. Future studies should focus on validating and refining these models.
