High Plasma Renin and Aldosterone Levels Are Associated With a Unique Phenotype in Primary Hypertension.
Article in Korean circulation journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesSubstantial efforts have been made to categorize the diverse and broad population of individuals with primary hypertension into more defined, homogeneous subgroups according to their hormonal responses to biological stimuli, such as low-renin hypertension. This study aimed to explore the phenotype and prognosis of patients with untreated primary hypertension with high renin and aldosterone levels.
methodsIn this study, we explored hypertensive phenotypes related to renin and aldosterone levels in untreated patients with primary hypertension (n=747). Patients were stratified into 4 groups on the basis of plasma renin activity (≥1.0 ng/mL/hr or <1.0 ng/mL/hr) and the plasma aldosterone concentration (≥15 ng/dL or <15 ng/dL).: high renin and aldosterone (n=172), low renin and high aldosterone (n=70), high renin and low aldosterone (n=308), and low renin and aldosterone (n=196).
resultsMultinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that younger age (p<0.001), higher pulse rates (p=0.002), and greater nighttime systolic blood pressure (p=0.046) were independent predictors of high renin and aldosterone levels. Microalbuminuria (25.5%, p<0.001) and elevated uric acid levels (5.5±1.4 mg/dL, p=0.006) were also more prevalent in this group.
conclusionsThese findings highlight the importance of stratifying hypertensive phenotypes to enable personalized treatment for primary hypertensives with elevated renin and aldosterone levels.
