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

unlabelledSecondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is an early complication and a well-known factor negatively affecting cardiovascular mortality already in the late stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Negative effects can also be foreseen in early stages of CKD.

aimSet against this background, I performed detailed clinical review of the specific literature from 1975 on the various types of trials used to treat SHPT in order to assess their effect on uremic patients affected by CKD stage 3 stage 4.

resultsOut of the 1,820 papers reviewed, I identified 14 prospective controlled randomized trials involving in total 1,587 patients. Dietary approaches and the use of phosphorus chelating agents, either alone or in association, do not seem to be particularly promising for SHPT in uremic patients with CKD stage 3-4. Pending the publication of statistically wellstructured works on CKD stage 3-4, experience with calciummimetic agents in CKD stage 3-4 seems promising, even if there is a need to decrease the side effects most affecting medication compliance and as well safety calcium-mimetic agents seem to be more useful, especially in association with vitamin D derivatives. Further promising results seem to be provided by the latest generations of vitamin D derivatives such as paracalcitol which produces good SHPT control.
