Biomarkers of Uremic Cardiotoxicity.
Article in Toxins, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality increase along with the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The potential novel biomarkers of cardiotoxicity have been tested with the aim of the early detection of patients at high CV risk, and among them are markers of inflammation, oxidative stress, acute renal injury, and microRNAs. The study analyzed biomarkers in non-dialysis-dependent (NDD; stage 3a-4 CKD) and dialysis-dependent (DD) CKD patients. The prospective cohort study included 87 patients who were followed for 18 months, during which period newly occurred CV events were recorded. Cox regression analysis confirmed serum albumin, urea, interventricular septum thickness diameter (IVST), the use of calcium antagonist, and erythropoiesis-stimulating agent to be significant predictors of CV outcome. No significant difference was observed in biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress, acute kidney injury (IL-18, CRP, ferritin, IMA, SOD, NGAL, and KIM-1), and miR-133a, in regards to the presence/absence of CV event, CV death, and left ventricular hypertrophy. Serum albumin, urea, IVST, and the use of calcium antagonist and erythropoiesis-stimulating agents were confirmed to be factors associated with CV events in CKD patients. Apart from traditional risk factors, new research is needed to define novel and reliable biomarkers of cardiotoxicity in CKD patients.
