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
aimFunctional iron deficiency seco ndary to inflammation and increased serum hepcidin lead to erythropoietin-resistant anemia in children with chronic kidney disease. Vitamin D deficiency, parathyroid hormone, and phosphate can also participate in chronic inflammation and anemia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between hepcidin, bone mineral metabolism, and anemia in non-dialysis pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease. MATERIAL AND
methodsThirty-five patients with stage 2-4 chronic kidney disease and 35 healthy subjects were enrolled in the study. Serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, uric acid, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, hepcidin, complete blood count, ferritin, calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and fibroblast growth factor-23 levels were compared between the groups.
resultsFerritin, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid levels, and percentages of reticulocytes were significantly higher than in the controls (p<0.05). The mean serum hepcidin levels in the chronic kidney disease and control groups were 9.6±5.2 (range, 2.15-25.3) and 9.7±4.3 (range, 3.4-22.2) ng/mL and were not significantly different in either group. There were no differences in terms of serum phosphorus, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and fibroblast growth factor-23 levels between the groups (p>0.05). Serum hepcidin levels were not correlated with anemia parameters, serum fibroblast growth factor-23, phosphorus, uric acid, C-reactive protein, parathyroid hormone, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels (p>0.05). However, serum hepcidin levels were correlated with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and interleukin-6 levels (p=0.013 and p=0.002, respectively).
conclusionSerum hepcidin levels may not increase significantly in non-dialysis pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease despite high levels of inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein and interleukin-6. The increase of serum hepcidin levels may be inhibited by effective treatment of anemia with iron supplementation and erythropoietin, and the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism with phosphate binders and the active form of vitamin D, which decrease serum parathyroid hormone and fibroblast growth factor-23 levels, and control inflammation to some extent.
