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

Indoxyl sulfate is a protein-bound uremic toxin synthesized from indole that cannot be efficiently removed by the hemodialysis method and thus becomes a key risk factor for the progression of chronic kidney disease. Here, we develop a non-dialysis treatment strategy to fabricate an ultramicroporous olefin-linked covalent organic framework with high crystallinity in a green and scalable fashion for selectively removing the indoxyl sulfate precursor (i.e., indole) from the intestine. Various analyses show that the resulting material exhibits excellent gastrointestinal fluid stability, high adsorption efficiency, and good biocompatibility. Notably, it realizes the efficient and selective removal of indole from the intestine and significantly attenuates serum indoxyl sulfate level in vivo. More importantly, the selective removal efficacy of indole is substantially higher than that of the commercial adsorbent AST-120 used in the clinic. The present study opens up a new avenue to eliminate indoxyl sulfate by a non-dialysis strategy and further expands the in vivo applications of covalent organic frameworks.
