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.

Abstract

Background: Elevated serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is strongly associated with cardiovascular risk and mortality. Tenapanor, an inhibitor of gastrointestinal sodium/hydrogen exchanger isoform 3, decreased serum phosphate in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02081534) of patients receiving hemodialysis with hyperphosphatemia. Here, we report a secondary analysis of effects on serum FGF23 during that study. Methods: After 1-3 weeks of washout of phosphate binders, 162 patients were randomized to receive 4 weeks of treatment with placebo or one of six tenapanor regimens (3 or 30 mg once daily, or 1, 3, 10 or 30 mg twice daily). Intact FGF23 concentrations were determined from serum samples collected at screening, post-washout and end of treatment, assayed in duplicate in a single batch at the end of the study. Results: After phosphate-binder washout, serum FGF23 concentrations increased in all groups [range of geometric means: 1430-2605 pg/mL before, to 2601-6294 pg/mL after washout (P < 0.001 for all patients analyzed as a single group)]. Serum FGF23 concentrations subsequently decreased in tenapanor-treated patients (2030-3563 pg/mL), whereas they increased further in placebo-treated patients (6930 pg/mL). In an analysis of covariance, FGF23 decreased by 9.1-27.9% in tenapanor-treated patients and increased by 21.9% in placebo-treated patients (P ≤ 0.001-0.04). Conclusions: Following a marked increase in serum FGF23 in response to withdrawal of phosphate binders, tenapanor significantly decreased serum FGF23 in patients receiving hemodialysis with hyperphosphatemia. Further studies are required to explore the long-term effects of controlling FGF23 with tenapanor.
