Vitamin D: an important treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease?
Review in International urology and nephrology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is one of the most common complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Vitamin D levels begin to decrease in the early stages of CKD, and these vitamin D-related changes play a central role in the occurrence and development of SHPT. Vitamin D-based drugs, which inhibit parathyroid hormone secretion either directly or indirectly, are commonly used to treat SHPT. However, vitamin D-based drugs can also lead to a dysregulated balance between serum calcium and phosphorus, as well as other adverse reactions. Over the past several decades, researchers have conducted in-depth studies on the pathogenesis of SHPT, developed new vitamin D-based drugs, and explored combinatory methods to improve treatment efficacy for the disease. Here, we review vitamin D metabolism, the diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency in patients with CKD, the pathogenesis of SHPT, the pharmacological effects of vitamin D drugs, and the benefits and side effects of using vitamin D to treat SHPT.
