Molidustat for the treatment of anemia in Japanese patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis: a single-arm, open-label, phase 3 study.

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
This 36-week, open-label, single-arm, phase 3 study investigated the safety and efficacy of molidustat in Japanese patients with renal anemia undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Molidustat was titrated every 4 weeks to maintain Hb levels within the target range (≥11.0 and <13.0 g/dL). The primary efficacy outcome was the responder rate, defined as the proportion of patients who met all of the following criteria: (1) mean Hb levels in the target range during the evaluation period (Weeks 30-36); (2) ≥50% of Hb values within the target range during the evaluation period; and (3) no rescue treatment before the end of the evaluation period. Overall, 51 patients received molidustat. The responder rate (95% CI) during the evaluation period was 54.9% (40.3, 68.9). Overall, 98.0% of patients experienced at least 1 adverse event during the study. No deaths were reported. Molidustat maintained Hb levels in the prespecified range in more than half of the patients and was well tolerated.
