Differential effects of phosphate binders on vitamin D metabolism in chronic kidney disease.
Trial report in Nephrology, dialysis, transplantation : official publication of the European Dialysis and Transplant Association - European Renal Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
backgroundPhosphate binders are commonly used in the treatment of patients with hyperphosphatemia. While phosphate binders are used to lower phosphate, the effects of specific phosphate binder types on vitamin D metabolism are unknown.
methodsWe performed a secondary analysis of the Phosphate Normalization Trial in which patients with moderate to advanced chronic kidney disease were randomized to receive either placebo, sevelamer carbonate, lanthanum carbonate or calcium acetate for 9 months. We evaluated changes in serum concentrations of vitamin D metabolites including 24,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [24,25(OH)2D3], 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3], the ratio of 24,25(OH)2D3 to 25-hydroxyvitamin D [the vitamin D metabolite ratio (VMR)] and the ratio of serum 1,25(OH)2D to 25-hydroxyvitamin D.
resultsCompared with placebo, randomization to the calcium acetate arm was associated with a 0.6 ng/mL (95% CI 0.2, 1) and 13.5 pg/ng (95% CI 5.5, 21.5) increase in 24,25(OH)2D and VMR, respectively, and a 5.2 pg/mL (95% CI 1.1, 9.4) reduction in 1,25(OH)2D. Randomization to sevelamer carbonate was associated with a 0.5 ng/mL (95% CI -0.9, -0.1) and 11.8 pg/ng (95% CI -20, -3.5) reduction in 24,25(OH)2D3 and VMR, respectively. There was no association of the sevelamer arm with the change in 1,25(OH)2D3, and randomization to lanthanum carbonate was not associated with a change in any of the vitamin D metabolites.
conclusionAdministration of different phosphate binders to patients with moderate to severe CKD results in unique changes in vitamin D metabolism.
