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

ObjectivesChronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with accumulation of uremic toxins such as indoxyl sulfate (IS) in blood and tubular epithelial cells, which contribute to the progression of CKD. The aim of this prospective, randomised, two-centre clinical pilot study was to evaluate the effect of oral spherical carbonaceous adsorbent Renaltec (Porus One) on IS plasma concentration, progression of CKD, parameters of calcium/phosphate homeostasis (total calcium [tCa], phosphorus, fibroblast growth factor 23 [FGF-23]), urine protein:creatinine ratio (UPC) and faecal dysbiosis index (FDI) in cats with stable CKD International Renal Interest Society (IRIS) stage 2 and 3 over a 6-month period.MethodsA total of 19 cats with CKD were randomly assigned to the Renaltec group (n = 10, eight stage 2, two stage 3) or control group (n = 9, eight stage 2, one stage 3). All cats received standard of care treatment according to IRIS guidelines. Cats in the Renaltec group received an additional 500 mg q24h of Renaltec administered mixed with food or a liquid cat treat. All cats were examined on day 0 (t0), after 3 months (t1) and after 6 months (t2). Statistical analysis was performed using generalised linear mixed models.ResultsAt t0, the Renaltec group cats had significantly lower tCa (
