ENDOCRINE AND GROWTH ABNORMALITIES IN CHILDREN WITH KIDNEY FAILURE ON MAINTENANCE HEMODIALYSIS - EXPERIENCE OF A SINGLE CENTER FROM WESTERN ROMANIA.
Article in Acta endocrinologica (Bucharest, Romania : 2005). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The underlying mechanisms for endocrine disturbances in patients with kidney alterations are complex. Aim: To provide better longitudinal follow-up of children, especially to check their progress through puberty. Material and methods: A prospective study was conducted at the "Louis Turcanu" Emergency Hospital for Children in Timisoara, Romania during 01.01.2022- 31.12.2024. The study population included ten pediatric patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis. Data were collected from the electronic medical records and included demographic information and relevant laboratory parameters, which reflect the patients' anemia status, inflammation, mineral metabolism and other endocrine abnormalities. Results: Erythropoietin doses ranged from 87 to 176 units/kg once a week at the beginning of our study, higher than guidelines recommendations. Most patients presented with hemoglobin levels below the normal range which slightly increased over the 3 years period. Vitamin D levels ranged from 8.1 to 55.8 ng/mL. These resulted in a poor control of the mineral bone disease associated with kidney failure. Conclusions: The loss of kidney function is associated with an impaired control of phosphor-calcium balance, and anemia, growth and pubertal delay in children. This study highlights the need for individualized treatment plans and a multidisciplinary approach in pediatric patients with ESRD.
