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

Phosphate is essential for proper cell function by providing the fundamentals for DNA, cellular structure, signaling and energy production. The homeostasis of phosphate is regulated by the phosphaturic hormones fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 23 and parathyroid hormone (PTH). Recent studies indicate that phosphate induces phosphate sensing mechanisms via binding to surface receptors and phosphate cotransporters leading to feedback loops for additional regulation of serum phosphate concentrations as well as by phosphate itself. An imbalance to either side, enhances or reduces serum phosphate levels, respectively. The latter is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular diseases and mortality. Hyperphosphatemia is often due to impaired kidney function and linked to vascular disease, hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy. In contrast, hypophosphatemia either due to reduced dietary intake or intestinal absorption of phosphate or hereditary or acquired renal phosphate wasting, may result in impaired energy metabolism and cardiac arrhythmias. Here, we review the effects and its underlying mechanisms of deregulated serum phosphate concentrations on the cardiovascular system. Finally, we summarize the current therapeutic approaches for both lowering serum phosphate levels and improvement of cardiovascular disease.
