Association of nutritional indices with hyporesponsiveness to hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors in patients with chronic kidney disease: a single-center retrospective observational study.
Observational study in BMC nephrology, 2026. 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
backgroundHypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) are promising therapeutic alternatives for renal anemia because their hematopoietic effects are less influenced by inflammation. However, HIF-PHIs did not improve anemia in some cases, even at increasing doses. Since non-hemodialysis patients and various HIF-PHIs have not yet been examined, this study aimed to explore the factors associated with HIF-PHI resistance index (HRI) in all patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who received HIF-PHIs.
methodsThis single-center, retrospective observational study included patients with dialysis-dependent or non-dialysis-dependent CKD who received HIF-PHIs. Spearman's rank correlation coefficients were calculated between the HRI and each factor. Factors associated with a high HRI were evaluated using univariate logistic regression analysis, followed by multivariate logistic regression analysis using statistically significant factors as covariates.
resultsThe controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score was strongly correlated with HRI (score ≥ 5 [moderate to severe malnutrition] was associated with a high HRI). Further analysis of daprodustat (n = 38) showed that this association remained significant after adjusting for potential confounders (OR = 2.2; 95% CI, 1.09-4.44; p = 0.028).
conclusionMalnutrition, which is closely associated with anemia, may contribute to the reduced responsiveness to HIF-PHIs. A high HRI may be undesirable for any patient because of safety concerns and economic burden.
