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.

2 · The registry

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 decreased response to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) leads to refractory anemia and worse prognosis in patients with chronic kidney disease. We examined the association between autoantibodies to the erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) and responsiveness to ESAs in patients on maintenance hemodialysis.

methodsA total of 108 Japanese patients on maintenance hemodialysis at three institutions were enrolled. Sera from these patients were screened for anti-EPOR antibodies using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. An ESA resistance index (ERI) was calculated, and patients in the highest ERI quartile were defined as ESA hyporesponsive.

resultsAnti-EPOR antibodies were detected in 11 patients (10%). Body mass index and hemoglobin, platelet, magnesium, and ferritin levels decreased with higher ERI levels. On the other hand, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and the prevalence of anti-EPOR antibodies increased with higher ERI levels. In multivariate analysis, the presence of anti-EPOR antibodies together with CRP was a significant risk factor for ESA hyporesponsiveness.

conclusionsAnti-EPOR antibodies were detected in patients on maintenance hemodialysis, and these autoantibodies were independent factors for hyporesponsiveness to ESAs in these patients.
