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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesBesides a multitude of consequences patients on chronic renal replacement therapy have, anemia is one of the most prominent factors making a significant number of patients dependent on erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) therapy. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the levels of a broad spectrum of thrombo-inflammatory and oxidative stress-related biomarkers and the presence and level of ESA hyporesponsiveness in patients undergoing regular chronic hemodialysis.

methodsThis cross-sectional study included 96 patients treated with chronic hemodialysis. Levels of several thrombo-inflammatory and oxidative stress-related biomarkers, as well as demographic, clinical, and laboratory analyses, were collected and analyzed based on the calculated value of the ESA-hyporesponsiveness index (EHRI).

resultsIn the analyzed sample, 58 patients received ESAs. Of all the investigated parameters, only body mass index (BMI), level of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and level of L-type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) were observed as significant predictors of EHRI. A significant diagnostic potential for ESA resistance has been observed in BMI and L-FABP between ESA-resistant and ESA-non-resistant groups of patients (

conclusionsEHRI was positively predicted by low BMI and high levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and L-FABP. High levels of L-FABP and low BMI have been observed as strong predictors of ESA resistance.
