Calcium-based phosphate binders and bone mineral density in patients undergoing hemodialysis: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in Clinical and experimental nephrology, 2024. 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
backgroundCalcium supplements are commonly prescribed to prevent fractures in patients with osteoporosis. Nonetheless, they are generally eschewed in hemodialysis patients because they increase vascular calcification and induce cardiovascular disease. This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the effect of calcium-based phosphate binders (CBPB) on bone mineral density (BMD) in hemodialysis patients.
methodsOutpatients on dialysis who underwent BMD measurement from January to December 2017, whose data on BMD trends and CBPB administration were recorded over the next 4 years, were enrolled. Patients receiving anti-osteoporotic medications were excluded. The association between the presence and duration of CBPB administration and changes in BMD was evaluated.
resultsThe femoral neck's BMD decreased from 0.836 g/cm
conclusionCBPB administration may be associated with BMD maintenance.
