Association of serum intact fibroblast growth factor 23 with left ventricular mass and different echocardiographic findings in patients on hemodialysis.
Article in Journal of translational internal medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo determine the association of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) through the assessment of left ventricular (LV) mass and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in patients on hemodialysis, this study was done.
methodsAll patients on hemodialysis who are older than 18 years and in whom hemodialysis vintage was at least 6 months were enrolled. All patients were on hemodialysis thrice a week for 4 h using low-flux dialysis filters, polysulfone membranes, reverse osmosis purified water, and bicarbonate-base hemodialysis solution. The exclusion criteria were any respiratory illness or pulmonary infection, cigarette smoking, and the presence of pericarditis or pericardial effusion. Additionally, patients with a known coronary artery disease, any form of cardiac arrhythmias, any cardiomyopathy or severe valvular heart disease diagnosed by echocardiography, acute congestive heart failure (CHF), and acute myocardial infarction were not included. Echocardiography was conducted by an experienced operator for all the enrolled patients using the ACUSON SC2000™ ultrasound system transducer (Siemens), with a frequency bandwidth of: 1.5-3.5 MHz. Patients were considered to have LVH if the LVMI was greater than 134 g/m
resultsA total of 61 patients (19 female and 42 male) were enrolled to the study. Mean (± SD) age of the patients was 59.6 ± 13.1 years. The median duration of hemodialysis was 23 (range: 6-120) months. The median predialysis level of FGF23 was 1,977 pg/mL (range: 155-8,870). LVH was seen in 73.8% of the patients (n = 45) and of them 66.7% were male. There was a statistically significant direct correlation between FGF23 and left ventricle diameter in end systole (LVDs) (r = 0.29,
conclusionThis study does not show the correlation between FGF23 and LV mass in stable hemodialysis patients.
