Low-dose ferrous bisglycinate chelate supplementation in chronic kidney disease and hemodialysis patients.
Trial report in Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundProvision of parenteral or oral iron supplementation can restore iron stores and maintain stable hemoglobin levels in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hemodialysis (HD) patients. The route for oral or intravenous (IV) administration of iron depends on the acuity of anemia, costs, and patient tolerance. IV iron can restore iron stores rapidly but also carries higher risks for allergy and infection. Oral iron supplementation is limited by high gastrointestinal adverse effects.
methodsWe conducted an open-label trial to study the efficiency of a film-coated iron supplementation tablet, which contains ferrous bisglycinate chelate, vitamin C, and folic acid, in CKD stage 3b to 4 and HD patients.
resultsTwenty-seven HD patients and 20 CKD patients participated this study. After a 16-week intervention, low-dose ferrous bisglycinate chelate improved serum iron concentration (67.8 vs 87.2 mg/dL, p = 0.04) and transferrin saturation (24.7% vs 31.3%, p = 0.03) in stage 3 to 4 CKD patients, restored iron loss, and maintained stable hemoglobin levels in HD patients. No GI upset events were reported.
conclusionFerrous bisglycinate chelate is a well-tolerated oral iron supplementation for CKD and HD patients.
