  Figure 2.. Cardiovascular events in treated patients with primary aldosteronism (include surgery group and medical therapy group) versus essential hypertension. Forest plot of the OR of cardiovascular events in treated patients with primary aldosteronism and essential hypertension. Diamond indicates the overall summary estimate for the analysis (width of the diamond represents the 95%CI); boxes, the weight of individual studies in the pooled analysis. Central squares of each horizontal line represent the OR for each study. Horizontal lines indicate the range of the 95%CI and the vertical line indicates an OR of 1.0 (which indicates no differences in the OR between the groups). OR: odds ratio.

  Figure 3.. Cardiovascular events in patients treated with surgery and medical therapy. Forest plot of the OR of coronary artery disease in patients treated with medical therapy versus surgery. Diamond indicates the overall summary estimate for the analysis (width of the diamond represents the 95%CI); boxes, the weight of individual studies in the pooled analysis. Central squares of each horizontal line represent the OR for each study. Horizontal lines indicate the range of the 95%CI and the vertical line indicates an OR of 1.0 (which indicates no differences in the OR between the groups). OR: odds ratio.
