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

Context: Cinacalcet, the first FDA-approved calcimimetic agent for treating secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT), has unclear factors influencing its therapeutic efficacy in clinical practice. Objective: To establish a pharmacodynamic model for cinacalcet use in SHPT, analyze drug effect distribution and influencing factors, and determine optimal treatment strategy. Methods: We searched public databases for randomized trials on cinacalcet for SHPT, modeling changes in serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium, and phosphorus postintervention. Key pharmacodynamic parameters and influencing factors were identified, with subgroup analysis for factors not in the covariate model. We also compared cinacalcet efficacy between United States/European Union (30-180 mg) and Asia (25-100 mg) dosage ranges. Results: Twenty-six studies (4242 subjects) were analyzed. Covariate analysis showed increasing PTH baseline and vitamin D use proportionally affected PTH and calcium decrease. Postintervention, maximum effects were observed with onset times of 0.46, 0.15, and 0.29 months. Subgroup analysis showed factors such as dialysis time, baseline calcium and phosphorus, phosphate binder use, gender proportion, patient ethnicity, blinding, and age influenced PTH, calcium, and phosphorus decrease. The efficacy of cinacalcet at a dosage of 25 to 100 mg in Asian populations was comparable to that observed at a dose range of 30 to 180 mg in Western populations, suggesting that reducing the therapeutic dose of cinacalcet may potentially yield a better benefit-risk ratio. Conclusion: We established a pharmacokinetic model for cinacalcet in SHPT treatment, providing crucial data for identifying effective patient populations and optimizing treatment strategies.
