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

backgroundRenal anemia is one of the most common complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This real-life study assessed the effectiveness of methoxy polyethylene glycol-epoetin beta, a continuous erythropoietin receptor activator (C.E.R.A.), for the treatment of CKD-associated anemia in patients receiving dialysis in daily clinical practice.

methods247 patients receiving chronic intermitted dialysis in 26 centers in Poland with CKD-associated symptomatic anemia, ESA-naïve, and with balanced iron stores in the investigators' opinion were enrolled this real-life study. Over 12 months, the following data were collected: hemoglobin (Hb) concentration and dosage, route of administration and dosing scheme of C.E.R.A., dialysis adequacy, adverse events, iron therapy, and blood transfusions.

resultsDuring the treatment, a Hb concentration of ≥10 g/dL was noted in 90.9% of hemodialysis patients (n = 224) and 96.0% of peritoneal dialysis patients (n = 23). At baseline, 7.8% of patients had a Hb concentration of 10-12 g/dL, which increased to 63.3% after 12 months. The median time when Hb concentration was maintained within 10-12 g/dL was 115.2 (interquartile range 49.1-188.7) days. A Hb concentration ≥12 g/dL was observed after 7 months of treatment in a maximum of 24.1% of hemodialysis patients, and 31.8% of peritoneal dialysis patients. The median time elapsed between the start of treatment and the first Hb concentration >10 g/dL was 42.0 (21.0-78.2) days. C.E.R.A. was well tolerated.

conclusionsC.E.R.A. corrects CKD-associated anemia in dialysis patients, and maintains Hb levels within the recommended target range. The study also confirmed the acceptable safety profile of the drug.
