JR-131, a Biosimilar of Darbepoetin Alfa, for the Treatment of Hemodialysis Patients With Renal Anemia: A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Parallel-Group Phase 3 Study.
Trial report in Therapeutic apheresis and dialysis : official peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Apheresis, the Japanese Society for Apheresis, the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous JR-131, a darbepoetin alfa biosimilar, to darbepoetin alfa in hemodialysis patients with renal anemia. In this 24-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, parallel-group phase 3 study, 334 hemodialysis patients with renal anemia who had been receiving darbepoetin alfa were randomized to either JR-131 or darbepoetin alfa group. The initial dose was set based on the darbepoetin alfa dose during the observation period. The primary endpoint was change in hemoglobin level from baseline to end of treatment. The 95% confidence interval of the difference in the change in hemoglobin level between the groups was -0.19 to -0.20 g/dL, within the equivalent margin of -0.5 to 0.5 g/dL. No notable treatment-emergent adverse events were observed in either group. JR-131 was therapeutically equivalent to darbepoetin alfa, and the safety profile of JR-131 was similar to that of darbepoetin alfa.
