Associations between anemia and FGF23 in the CKiD study.
Article in Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00327860 (Chronic Kidney Disease in Children Prospective Cohort Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
backgroundFibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a bone-derived hormone that plays a central role in chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disorder and is associated with CKD progression and cardiovascular morbidity. Factors related to CKD-associated anemia, including iron deficiency, can increase FGF23 production. This study aimed to assess whether anemia and/or iron deficiency are associated with increased circulating concentrations of FGF23 in the large, well-characterized Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) study cohort.
methodsHemoglobin concentrations, iron parameters, C-terminal (total) FGF23, intact FGF23, and relevant covariables were measured in cross-sectional analysis of CKiD study subjects.
resultsIn 493 pediatric patients with CKD (median [interquartile range] age 13 [9, 16] years), the median estimated glomerular filtration rate was 48 [35, 61] ml/min/1.73 m
conclusionsIn this cohort of pediatric patients with CKD, anemia was associated with increased total FGF23 levels but was not independently associated with elevated intact FGF23, suggesting possible effects on both FGF23 production and cleavage. Further studies are warranted to investigate non-mineral factors affecting FGF23 production and metabolism in CKD.
