EPO-Mimetic Peptide Pegmolesatide Therapy for Pure Red Cell Aplasia in a Patient with Non-dialysis-dependent Type 1 Diabetic Nephropathy: A Case Report.

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
Pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) is a rare complication of erythropoietin (EPO) therapy, characterized by a severe deficiency in red blood cell production. There is no guideline on the treatment for PRCA because there have been too few cases to perform prospective cohort studies. The main treatments for PRCA include immediate cessation of EPO, restrictive transfusion, and immunosuppressive therapies. A 35-year-old male patient with type 1 diabetic nephropathy was diagnosed with PRCA. Enarodustat and roxadustat were administered successively after discontinuation of EPO, but anemia did not improve, and the patient was maintained with weekly blood transfusions. Subsequently, the EPO-mimetic peptide pegmolesatide was administered, and the patient's hemoglobin started to increase after 1 week and increased from 50 g/L to 92 g/L over approximately 3 months. Based on these findings, we speculate that pegmolesatide can provide a safe, effective, and convenient therapeutic strategy for PRCA in Chinese patients with chronic kidney disease.
