Oral alkali therapy and the management of metabolic acidosis of chronic kidney disease: A narrative literature review.
Review in World journal of nephrology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Chronic metabolic acidosis is a common complication seen in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). There is currently no consensus on its management in the Republic of Ireland. Recent trials have suggested that appropriate active management of metabolic acidosis through oral alkali therapy and modified diet can have a deterring impact on CKD progression. The potential benefits of treatment include preservation of bone health and improvement in muscle function; however, present data is limited. This review highlights the current evidence, available primarily from randomised control trials (RCTs) over the last decade, in managing the metabolic acidosis of CKD and outlines ongoing RCTs that are promising. An economic perspective is also briefly discussed to support decision-making.
