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

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at a high risk of developing secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), which may cause organ dysfunction and increase patient mortality. The main clinical interventions for CKD-SHPT involve calcium supplements to boost absorption, but ineffective for some patients, and the reasons remain unclear. Here, CKD mice are divided into high and low groups based on intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels. The high group exhibits significant changes in gut microbes, including a decrease in Lactobacillus, an increase in parathyroid hyperplasia, and a decrease in intestinal calcium. Fecal microbiota transplantation and L. johnsonii colonization indicate a link between gut microbes and CKD-SHPT. Clinically, higher L. johnsonii levels are correlated with milder hyperparathyroidism CKD-SHPT. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for L. johnsonii abundance and surgical risk is 0.81, with the calibration curve confirming predictive accuracy, and decision curve analysis revealing good clinical applicability. In vivo and in vitro experiments show that cyclo(pro-trp) enhance calcium inflow and lower iPTH levels in intestinal epithelial cells via a calcium-sensing receptor and transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 pathways. This study identified the crucial role of L. johnsonii in CKD-SHPT, unveiling a new mechanism for calcium imbalance and offering novel strategies for SHPT treatment and drug development.
