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: X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) is associated with uninhibited FGF23 activity, which leads to phosphaturia, hypophosphatemia and depressed active vitamin D (1,25OH2D) levels. Conventional treatment with phosphate supplements and vitamin D analogs may lead to hypercalciuria (HC), nephrocalcinosis (NC) and hyperparathyroidism. We investigated the effects of burosumab treatment, an anti-FGF23 monoclonal antibody recently approved for XLH, on these complications. Methods: This retrospective study included children with XLH who were treated with burosumab for at least one year at one of three referral centers. Clinical and biochemical potential treatment outcomes were regularly followed, including multiple urine calcium measurements and NC severity score (0 = no NC, 3 = worse NC). Results: Twenty-six (13 male) children aged 7.6 ± 3.9 years were followed for 27.5 ± 9.6 months. Mean serum phosphate levels rapidly increased from 2.67 ± 0.61 at baseline to 3.57 ± 0.53 mg/dL after 3 months ( Conclusion: In children with XLH treated with burosumab, HC was an infrequent side effect and preexisting NC did not worsen.
