Kidney phosphate wasting predicts poor outcome in polycystic kidney disease.

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
backgroundPatients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) have disproportionately high levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) for their chronic kidney disease stage, however only a subgroup develops kidney phosphate wasting. We assessed factors associated with phosphate wasting and hypothesize that it identifies patients with more severe disease and predicts disease progression.
methodsWe included 604 patients with ADPKD from a multicenter prospective observational cohort (DIPAK; Developing Intervention Strategies to Halt Progression of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease) in four university medical centers in the Netherlands. We measured parathyroid hormone (PTH) and total plasma FGF-23 levels, and calculated the ratio of tubular maximum reabsorption rate of phosphate to glomerular filtration rate (TmP/GFR) with <0.8 mmol/L defined as kidney phosphate wasting. We analysed the association of TmP/GFR with estimated GFR (eGFR) decline over time and the risk for a composite kidney outcome (≥30% eGFR decline, kidney failure or kidney replacement therapy).
resultsIn our cohort (age 48 ± 12 years, 39% male, eGFR 63 ± 28 mL/min/1.73 m2), 59% of patients had phosphate wasting. Male sex [coefficient -0.2, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.2; -0.1], eGFR (0.002, 95% CI 0.001; 0.004), FGF-23 (0.1, 95% CI 0.03; 0.2), PTH (-0.2, 95% CI -0.3; -0.06) and copeptin (-0.08, 95% CI -0.1; -0.08) were associated with TmP/GFR. Corrected for PTH, FGF-23 and eGFR, every 0.1 mmol/L decrease in TmP/GFR was associated with a greater eGFR decline of 0.2 mL/min/1.73 m2/year (95% CI 0.01; 0.3) and an increased hazard ratio of 1.09 (95% CI 1.01; 1.18) of the composite kidney outcome.
conclusionOur study shows that in patients with ADPKD, phosphate wasting is prevalent and associated with more rapid disease progression. Phosphate wasting may be a consequence of early proximal tubular dysfunction and insufficient suppression of PTH.
