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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of lanthanum carbonate (LC) versus calcium salts, non-LC phosphate binders (PBs), sevelamer, or placebo in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). MATERIALS AND

methodsA literature search on PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted up to 18 June 2021. Data acquisition and quality assessment were performed by two reviewers. Meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the serum biochemical parameters, adverse events, and patient-level outcomes of LC, non-LC PBs, and sevelamer for hyperphosphatemia in patients with CKD. Heterogeneity across studies was assessed utilizing the

resultsA total of 26 randomized, controlled trials and 3 observational studies were included. Compared to the other groups, better control effect of serum phosphorus (RR = 2.68,

conclusionLC might be an alternative treatment for hyperphosphatemia in patients with CKD considering its comprehensive curative effect.
