The association between aldosterone and lipid profiles in patients with primary aldosteronism.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Previous studies have yielded inconsistent findings regarding the comparison of lipid profiles in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) and essential hypertension (EH), and there is a limited understanding of the association between plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and lipid profiles across various populations. 270 patients with PA and 598 patients with EH diagnosed at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from January 2020 to June 2021 were consecutively included. After 1:1 propensity score matching by sex, age, and body mass index (BMI), 267 PA and 267 EH patients were ultimately enrolled in the study. The relationship between PAC and lipids was explored. Compared with EH patients, PA patients showed significantly lower levels of total cholesterol (TC) (P = 0.003), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (P < 0.001) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (Non-HDL-C) (P = 0.014). Log TC (P = 0.0256), log triglyceride (TG) (P = 0.0497) and log Non-HDL-C (P = 0.0184) levels were negatively correlated with log PAC in PA patients. Consistently, these lipids yielded similar results with aldosterone/renin ratio (ARR). However, the correlation does not exist in EH patients. The levels of TC, LDL-C and Non-HDL-C were significantly lower in PA than in EH patients. And a significant independent inverse association between log TC, log TG, log Non-HDL-C, and log PAC levels in PA patients. However, the above associations were not always present in clinically matched EH patients.
