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

Primary aldosteronism is characterized by excess aldosterone production leading to hypertension and hypokalemia. We report three cases of unilateral primary aldosteronism after kidney transplantation. Each patient presented with elevated blood pressure and hypokalemia early posttransplant. Diagnosis was established through elevated aldosterone-to-renin ratios and positive aldosterone suppression tests, and lateralization was determined with selective adrenal venous sampling. Ipsilateral adrenalectomy improved hypokalemia and blood pressure control for all. Notably, two patients with biopsy-confirmed glomerular pathology after kidney transplantation exhibited proteinuria reduction following adrenalectomy.
