Cinacalcet for Infants and Young Children on Maintenance Dialysis: Determining the Right Time, the Right Dose and the Right Patients.
Review in Kidney international reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Chronic Kidney Disease - Mineral Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD) is a recognized complication of kidney failure, which can lead to short stature, bone deformity, slipped capital femoral epiphysis, and bone fracture in children. Despite the use of conventional therapies, a subgroup of patients receiving dialysis continues to experience secondary or even tertiary hyperparathyroidism. Cinacalcet, a calcimimetic agent, has been shown to be a promising therapeutic option to control hyperparathyroidism with reasonable safety profiles in adults and older children. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of data and guidance pertaining to its use among the younger children on dialysis, who are often the most challenging patients to manage with severe CKD-MBD. In this review, we summarize the available evidence on cinacalcet use among pediatric patients, especially infants and young children aged < 3 years. We also discuss the unique considerations in management and attempt to provide a pragmatic approach regarding the use of cinacalcet in this specific patient population.
