Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04900610 (Vitamin K In PEritonial DIAlysis), which is not on this map. Cited by 40 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Arterial calcification is highly prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and is associated with cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Patients at early CKD stages are more likely to suffer a fatal CV event than to develop end-stage renal disease and require hemodialysis treatment. The heavy CV burden of these patients cannot be solely explained by traditional calcification risk factors. Moreover, the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying this association are complex and yet not fully understood. Although vascular calcification was regarded as a passive degenerative process for over a century, this theory changed by recent evidence that pointed toward an active process, where calcification promoters and inhibitors were involved. Matrix Gla Protein (MGP) has been established as a strong inhibitor of calcification both
