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

backgroundThe purpose of this study is to externally validate a published ratio of left adrenal aldosterone to calculated-right adrenal aldosterone (Aldosterone MATERIALS AND

methodsThis single-center retrospective study included 199 post-adrenocorticotropic hormone stimulation adrenal vein sampling cases (2016-2025). A selectivity index ≥ 5 was considered diagnostic and lateralization index ≥ 4 indicated unilateral disease. The cAldosterone

resultsAdrenal vein sampling was technically successful with determinate lateralization indices in 164 patients (41 left, 35 right, 88 bilateral). Using the published thresholds of 3 and 0.33, the Aldosterone
