Percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation After Incomplete Adrenalectomy in a Lateralized Case of Primary Aldosteronism.
Article in JCEM case reports, 2025. 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
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common cause of secondary hypertension. When unilateral aldosterone secretion is identified, surgery is the treatment of choice in most patients and is associated with a high cure rate. Alternative treatments, such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), are possible options, particularly when surgery is contraindicated. A 56-year-old patient presented with hypertension secondary to PA. A left lateralization was identified after adrenal vein sampling, and the patient underwent a left laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Postoperatively, a residual adrenal remnant was detected incidentally on a computed tomography scan. Persistent PA was confirmed by hormonal workup. To avoid open laparotomy, RFA was proposed as an alternative treatment. The procedure was a biological success, leading to normalization of PA markers. Although adrenalectomy failure is rare, RFA appears to be a possible alternative treatment strategy to prevent the need for repeat surgery and its associated risks.
