Tenapanor: A novel therapeutic agent for dialysis patients with hyperphosphatemia.
Review in Therapeutic apheresis and dialysis : official peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Apheresis, the Japanese Society for Apheresis, the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Patients on dialysis often develop hyperphosphatemia, contributing to an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. Currently, several types of phosphate binders (PBs) exist for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia, but they are sometimes associated with drug-specific side effects and high pill burden, making it difficult to control serum phosphorus appropriately. Tenapanor, which has a novel mechanism to reduce serum phosphorus via selective sodium/proton exchange transporter 3 inhibition, was approved for hyperphosphatemia in Japan in 2023. Four phase 3 studies of tenapanor have been performed in Japan and have demonstrated its efficacy and safety as a single-agent drug, add-on effects to PBs for patients with refractory hyperphosphatemia that cannot be improved with PBs alone, and reduction of the pill burden associated with PBs. This review provides an overview of the characteristics and previous clinical studies of tenapanor and describes the clinical benefits of tenapanor over current therapy in patients on dialysis.
