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

In a 68-year-old man on maintenance hemodialysis (HD), severe anemia was detected. Bone marrow biopsy was performed for investigation of pancytopenia and pathological examination revealed adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) was 574 ng/mL. After androgen deprivation therapy was initiated, PSA decreased to 13.7 ng/mL. But subsequent elevation of PSA and pain due to bone metastases were recognized. Denosumab (120 mg) was administered. Although improvement of bone pain was observed, severe hypocalcemia occurred. Severe hypophosphatemia was subsequently detected. When we use denosumab in dialysis patients with advanced cancer, we should be careful of hypophosphatemia.
