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

introductionFibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23) is found as a bone derived hormone which can influence the serum levels of parathormone, phosphorous and 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D. FGF23 may be a cardiovascular biomarker in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). While, FGF23 is inversely correlated with serum adiponectin level, thus it is possible that FGF23 is correlated to fat mass and related to dyslipidemia in CKD.

objectivesIn this investigation, we studied the association of serum levels of FGF23 with serum lipid profile, body mass index (BMI), and various cardiovascular risk factors in patients with CKD. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis is a cross-sectional study, which was conducted on 80 non-dialysis patients (glomerular filtration rate [GFR] <60 cc/min) with CKD. Laboratory results and demographic information recorded in pre-defined data sheets and their relationship with FGF23 were analyzed.

resultsEighty patients were studied. Mean ± standard deviation (SD) of serum creatinine and FGF23 were 2.18 ± 0.73 mg/dl and 15.028 ± 20.20 RU/ml respectively. The correlation between FGF23, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), ApoA, ApoB, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), calcium, phosphorous, alkaline phosphatase, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, BMI, waist girth, serum triglyceride and cholesterol was not significant (P > 0.05). In this study, the correlations of FGF23, with serum albumin (P = 0.036) and systolic blood pressure (P = 0.001) were significant.

conclusionOur study showed that there are not any significant correlations among FGF23, BMI and lipid profile. There are not any significant correlations between FGF23 and age, sex, and level of calcium, phosphorous, vitamin D. However, the relationships between FGF23 and serum albumin was negatively significant. Additionally we detected a positive significant correlation of FGF23 with level of systolic blood presure.
