Evaluation of changes in ferritin levels during sucroferric oxyhydroxide treatment.
Article in Clinical kidney journal, 2019. 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
backgroundA sub-analysis of a Phase III study was conducted to identify factors that might predict increased ferritin levels during long-term sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SO) treatment in hemodialysis patients.
methodsThe open-label, multicenter, Phase III study assessed the efficacy and safety of SO 750-3000 mg/day for 52 weeks in Japanese patients with chronic renal failure and hyperphosphatemia. A total of 125 of 161 patients from the Phase III trial, and who had data for ferritin levels after 28 weeks of SO treatment, were evaluated.
resultsBaseline ferritin was the strongest contributor (P < 0.0001) to ferritin increases during SO treatment. By Week 28, there were significant differences (P < 0.05/3) in ferritin increases between patients with higher [quartile 4 (Q4)] versus lower (Q1, Q2 and Q3) baseline ferritin. An erythropoiesis-stimulating agent dosage reduction was observed in patients with the lowest baseline ferritin level (Q1), and only slight reductions were noted in the other patient subsets. SO dosages administered to patients in baseline ferritin quartiles Q2, Q3 and Q4 were comparable throughout the study with slight fluctuations. SO dosages in Q1 were considerably lower than those in the other quartiles.
conclusionsIn summary, of the baseline variables found to predict increased ferritin, and changes in iron-related parameters, during SO treatment in Japanese chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis, baseline ferritin was the most relevant variable.
