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

Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is an endocrine disorder caused by autonomous aldosterone hypersecretion from the adrenal zona glomerulosa, causing sodium retention, plasma volume expansion, and suppressed renin activity, manifesting as hypertension with/without hypokalemia. Aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs), a common PA subtype, are typically unilateral and solitary; bilateral involvement is rare. We report a patient with hypertension and bilateral multiple adrenal adenomas. Case presentation: A 62-year-old male presenting with nausea, generalized fatigue, and poorly controlled hypertension (10-year history; max BP 200/110 mmHg) was admitted. Bilateral adrenal CT, which revealed multiple bilateral adrenal adenomas, raised clinical suspicion for primary aldosteronism. To confirm the diagnosis, Conclusion:
