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

Although much progress has been made in the past five years in understanding the mechanisms leading to accelerated vascular calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease, it remains unclear how an environment high in phosphate can impinge so significantly on the calcification process. The study by Sage et al. highlights an important and novel role for calcium phosphate nanocrystals, produced in a high-phosphate environment, in rapidly driving calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells via enhanced production of bone morphogenetic protein-2.
