Non-inferiority of sodium zirconium cyclosilicate versus potassium-restricted diet in achieving normokalaemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: protocol for a multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled, two-arm clinical trial (SILVERSTAR study).
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundTo effectively manage the progression of diabetic kidney disease, it is essential to address the associated hyperkalaemia while concurrently using renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. In this study, we aim to evaluate the effects of administering sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) to patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated by hyperkalaemia. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A total of 80 patients with type 2 diabetes and hyperkalaemia will be included in the study and randomly stratified into two groups.After consent, both groups will enter an initiation phase, receiving 10 g of SZC, three times per day for 2 days. SZC administration (5 g once daily) will subsequently commence in group A, while dietary therapy will be initiated in group B by implementing a potassium-restricted diet. The primary endpoint of the study is the proportion of normokalaemic (3.5 mEq/L≤serum potassium (sK)<5.0 mEq/L) participants at visit 7. The secondary endpoints are: (a) the proportion of normokalaemic participants (3.5 mEq/L≤sK<5.0 mEq/L) at visit 4 and (b) serum potassium levels at visit 7. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants prior to commencing the study. This study has been approved by the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine Clinical Research Review Board. All data obtained from this study will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: jRCTs051230067.
