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

To describe the association between levels of homocitrulline (HCit) and the degree of albumin carbamylation in a cohort of hemodialyzed patients. Plasma total and protein-bound HCit concentrations in samples from hemodialyzed patients included in NICOREN trial were determined by LC-MS/MS at baseline and after 24 weeks of treatment with either sevelamer or nicotinamide. HCit concentrations at all timepoints and in both groups were positively and significantly correlated with the degree of albumin carbamylation. Plasma concentrations of total HCit, protein-bound HCit and carbamylated albumin did not decrease after 24 weeks of treatment with either sevelamer or nicotinamide. The present results demonstrate that plasma total and protein-bound HCit concentrations were closely associated with albumin carbamylation in hemodialyzed patients. Therefore, total and protein-bound HCit concentrations might be valuable biomarkers of the overall intensity of protein carbamylation in this context. Given the less complex and time-consuming analytical methods required, these markers should be favored in future clinical studies of carbamylation reaction.
