Safety of daprodustat in patients with anemia of chronic kidney disease: A pooled analysis of phase 3 studies in Japan.
Article in Therapeutic apheresis and dialysis : official peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Apheresis, the Japanese Society for Apheresis, the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionDaprodustat is an approved treatment for anemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Japan.
methodsThis post hoc analysis evaluated pooled safety data for daprodustat from 3 phase 3 Japanese studies in dialysis-dependent and nondialysis patients with anemia of CKD.
resultsMedian drug exposure duration was 365 days for both daprodustat (N = 369) and injectable erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA, N = 285). The incidence per 100 patient-years of on-therapy adverse events (AEs) was 363.1 and 306.4 in the daprodustat and ESA groups, respectively. The incidence per 100 patient-years of thromboembolic and retinal events were 5.55 and 6.91 (daprodustat) and 6.28 and 7.46 (ESA), respectively. Cardiovascular and malignancy events were similar between groups, although analysis of these were limited by sample size and study duration.
conclusionThe safety of daprodustat was comparable to ESA in this pooled analysis, although further large-scale research is needed to evaluate long-term risks including cardiovascular and malignancy events.
