Review in Kidney international supplements, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06029179 (Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate Versus Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate for Treatment of Hyperkalemia in Hemodialysis Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Hyperkalemia is a frequently detected electrolyte abnormality that can cause life-threatening complications. Hyperkalemia is most often the result of intrinsic (decreased glomerular filtration rate; selective reduction in distal tubule secretory function; impaired mineralocorticoid activity; and metabolic disturbances, such as acidemia and hyperglycemia) and extrinsic factors (e.g., drugs, such as renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors, and potassium intake). The frequent use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors in patients who are already susceptible to hyperkalemia (e.g., patients with chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, or congestive heart failure) contributes to the high incidence of hyperkalemia. There is a need to understand the causes of hyperkalemia and to be aware of strategies addressing the disorder in a way that provides the most optimal outcome for affected patients. The recent development of 2 new oral potassium-binding agents has led to the emergence of a new paradigm in the treatment of hyperkalemia.
