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

backgroundThe iron-based phosphate binders, sucroferric oxyhydroxide (SFOH) and ferric citrate (FC), effectively lower serum phosphorus in clinical studies, but gastrointestinal iron absorption from these agents appears to differ. We compared iron uptake and tissue accumulation during treatment with SFOH or FC using experimental rat models.

methodsIron uptake was evaluated during an 8-h period following oral administration of SFOH, FC, ferrous sulphate (oral iron supplement) or control (methylcellulose vehicle) in rat models of anaemia, iron overload and inflammation. A 13-week study evaluated the effects of SFOH and FC on iron accumulation in different organs.

resultsIn the pharmacokinetic experiments, there was a minimal increase in serum iron with SFOH versus control during the 8-h post-treatment period in the iron overload and inflammation rat models, whereas a moderate increase was observed in the anaemia model. Significantly greater increases (P < 0.05) in serum iron were observed with FC versus SFOH in the rat models of anaemia and inflammation. In the 13-week iron accumulation study, total liver iron content was significantly higher in rats receiving FC versus SFOH (P < 0.01), whereas liver iron content did not differ between rats in the SFOH and control groups.

conclusionsIron uptake was higher from FC versus SFOH following a single dose in anaemia, iron overload and inflammation rat models and 13 weeks of treatment in normal rats. These observations likely relate to different physicochemical properties of SFOH and FC and suggest distinct mechanisms of iron absorption from these two phosphate binders.
