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

Gupta et al. describe a novel strategy for iron administration to hemodialysis patients, giving ferric pyrophosphate citrate via the dialysate. PRIME, a randomized controlled study comparing this technology against placebo, shows a 35% reduction in prescribed erythropoiesis-stimulating agent dose. The findings may be explained in part by a restrictive protocol for intravenous iron administration in the placebo group, producing lower ferritin levels. There were no obvious safety concerns. The general applicability of this technology, and its cost-effectiveness, are unclear at the present time.
