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

backgroundLiving kidney donors (LKDs) experience reduction in kidney function, however serum phosphate (sPi) levels are lower compared to patients with chronic kidney disease matched for reduced kidney function. Mineral metabolism adaptations that occur in LKDs have not been adequately investigated. To evaluate the effect of nephrectomy on markers of mineral metabolism in LKDs compared to healthy volunteers (HV) over 12 months.

methodsMineral parameters were evaluated in twenty-one adult LKDs and twenty HVs. Parameters included sPi, intact parathyroid hormone, fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23), soluble Klotho (sKl) and urinary phosphate, measured prior to donation (T

resultsMean ages of LKDs and HVs were 54.1 ± 14.7 and 52.6 ± 8.0 years, respectively. There were no baseline clinical or biochemical differences between LKDs and HVs. In LKDs at T

conclusionsProspective evaluation of mineral metabolism parameters in LKDs provides valuable insight into compensatory mechanisms after reduction in kidney function. Further reduction of sPi at T
