Concurrent Adrenal Adenoma, Unilateral Adrenal Hyperplasia, and Bilateral Renal Artery Stenosis in a 61-Year-Old Man.
Article in American journal of men's health. 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
We report a case of a very rare association of adrenal adenoma, unilateral adrenal hyperplasia, and bilateral renal artery stenosis. A 61-year-old man with a remarkable history of two severe strokes was admitted to the Nephrology department with hypertension associated with severe hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. Doppler of renal arteries was not conclusive, so contrast-enhanced scanning was done revealing a left adrenal adenoma, right adrenal hyperplasia, and bilateral moderate renal artery stenosis. After control of blood pressure with central anti-hypertensive drugs and calcium channel blockers and normalization of kalemia under potassium supplementation, the hormonal analysis was done showing an elevated plasma aldosterone concentration at 1,568 pmol/L, with a direct renin concentration below the detection level. Primary aldosteronism was confirmed and the prescription of an anti-aldosterone agent led to the control of blood pressure and potassium plasmatic levels. In front of arterial hypertension with hypokalemia, we recommend the assessment of secondary and primary hyperaldosteronism in a systematic way since the association of two or even three etiologies of hyperaldosteronism is possible and an appropriate diagnosis is essential for adequate treatment.
