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
Roxadustat is an oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor developed to treat anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. This Phase 3, randomized, open-label, 24-week study investigated the efficacy and safety of roxadustat in Japanese CKD patients with anemia on peritoneal dialysis (PD) who were previously treated or not treated with erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs). Patients not previously receiving ESA (ESA-Naïve group) were randomized to roxadustat at a starting dose of 50 or 70 mg three times weekly; patients previously receiving ESA (ESA-Converted group) switched from ESA to roxadustat 70 or 100 mg three times weekly depending on the prior ESA dose. Outcomes included maintenance rate of average hemoglobin (Hb) level within 10-12 g/dL at weeks 18-24, cumulative response rate at end of treatment (Hb thresholds, 10.0 g/dL or 10.5 g/dL; Hb increase, ≥1.0 g/dL), and average Hb levels at weeks 18-24. Safety was assessed by occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Fifty-six patients were enrolled (ESA-Naïve, n = 13; ESA-Converted, n = 43). Maintenance rates (weeks 18-24) were 92.3% (95% CI: 64.0-99.8; ESA-Naïve) and 74.4% (95% CI: 58.8-86.5; ESA-Converted). Cumulative response rate was 100.0% in the ESA-Naïve group. Average Hb levels (weeks 18-24) were 11.05 g/dL (95% CI: 10.67-11.42; ESA-Naïve) and 10.93 g/dL (95% CI: 10.73-11.13; ESA-Converted). Common TEAEs included nasopharyngitis and back pain. Roxadustat was well tolerated and effective in maintaining target Hb levels in CKD patients on PD who were previously treated or not treated with ESA.
