Comparative Effects of Acetate- and Citrate-Based Dialysates on Dialysis Dose and Protein-Bound Uremic Toxins in Hemodiafiltration Patients: Exploring the Impact of Calcium and Magnesium Concentrations.

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
Modern hemodialysis employs weak acids as buffers to prevent bicarbonate precipitation with calcium or magnesium. Acetate, the most used acid, is linked to chronic inflammation and poor dialysis tolerance. Citrate has emerged as a potential alternative, though its effect on dialysis efficiency is not clear. This study aims to compare the efficacy of acetate- and citrate-based dialysates, focusing on protein-bound uremic toxins and dialysis doses. This single-center prospective crossover study includes prevalent patients participating in a thrice-weekly online hemodiafiltration program. Four dialysates were tested: two acetate-based (1.25 and 1.5 mmol/L calcium) and two citrate-based (1.5 mmol/L calcium with 0.5 and 0.75 mmol/L magnesium). Pre- and post-dialysis blood samples of eighteen patients were analyzed for urea, creatinine, p-cresyl sulfate, indoxyl sulfate, and albumin. Statistical significance was assessed using paired
