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

Anemia is an important complication in patients with chronic kidney disease. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is one of the most common modalities of kidney replacement therapy for patients with end-stage kidney disease. PD is particularly prevalent in the Asian Pacific region. Among the different countries and regions, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand, PD accounts for 2.8% to 74.6% of the dialysis population. In addition, 82% to 96% of the PD populations from these countries and regions are receiving erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs). Asian Pacific countries and regions follow the latest KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) guidelines for the initiation of treatment of anemia in PD patients. The types of ESAs commonly used include shorter-acting (epoetin alfa and beta) and longer-acting agents, including darbepoetin alfa or methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta. The most commonly used ESAs in Mainland China, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand are the shorter-acting agents, whereas in Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea, longer-acting ESAs are most common. Oral iron therapy is still the most commonly used iron supplement. The route and dosage of iron administration in PD patients requires more research studies. With the introduction of oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors into clinical use, the landscape of treatment of anemia in the PD population in the Asia Pacific region may change in the coming years.
