1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hypertension is a critical health concern as it affects millions of people worldwide and leads to increased risk factors for other diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Hypertension is commonly categorized into primary hypertension and secondary hypertension, with the latter frequently curable when caused by the presence of a benign adrenal adenoma that produces excessive adrenal hormones. The incidence rate of these adrenal adenomas is relatively high, in keeping with the hyperplastic/hypermutable characteristic of the adrenal gland. One of the most common functional adrenal adenomas are the aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs), which develop from the adrenal cortex and, as per the name, produce excessive amounts of the adrenal hormone aldosterone, leading to hypertension. Investigations of genetic causes of these adenomas have revealed that the de novo somatic mutations that commonly cause the increase in aldosterone production mostly involve changes in intracellular concentration. Herein, we review the somatic genetic alterations that have been reported in APAs over the decade.
