Efficacy and Safety of Veverimer in the Treatment of Metabolic Acidosis Caused by Chronic Kidney Disease: A Meta-analysis.
Review in Frontiers in pharmacology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 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
Metabolic acidosis is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Veverimer is an orally administrated, free amine polymer with high capacity and binding selectivity to hydrochloric acid from the gastrointestinal tract. This study pooled the current evidence of the efficacy and safety of veverimer for the treatment of metabolic acidosis associated with CKD. We conducted a systematic literature search on PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in June 2020. In this study, three RCTs with 548 patients were included in our analysis. The analysis revealed that veverimer was associated with increased bicarbonate level of patients (weight mean difference [WMD] 3.08, 95% confidence interval [CI] [2.40, 3.77],
