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

As children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a long lifespan, optimal control of bone and mineral homeostasis is essential not only for the prevention of debilitating skeletal complications and for achieving adequate growth but also for preserving long-term cardiovascular health. As the growing skeleton is highly dynamic and at particular risk of deterioration, close control of bone and mineral homeostasis is required in children with CKD. However, assessment of bone disease is hampered by the limited validity of biochemical parameters-major controversy exists on key issues such as parathyroid hormone target ranges and the lack of useful imaging techniques. The role of newly discovered factors in bone and mineral homeostasis, such as fibroblast growth factor 23, is not yet established. Even though scientific evidence is limited in children with CKD, ergocalciferol or cholecalciferol supplementation and the use of calcium-free phosphate binders is recommended. The new drug cinacalcet is highly promising; however, pediatric experience is still limited to observational data and the effect of cinacalcet on longitudinal growth and pubertal development is unknown. Randomized, controlled trials are underway, including studies of cinacalcet pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in infants.
