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
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of combining paricalcitol with cinacalcet on the levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical records of 129 patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and secondary hyperparathyroidism who received MHD between June and December 2022. The patients were categorised into three groups based on their treatment regimen: Group A (paricalcitol alone, n=43), Group B (cinacalcet alone, n=43), and Group C (combined paricalcitol and cinacalcet, n=43). Hemoglobin (Hb), serum albumin (Alb), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), iPTH, ALP, serum creatinine (Scr), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels were measured at admission, 1 day, 3 months, and 6 months to compare the outcomes across the three groups. Results: No significant differences among the groups were observed in Hb and Alb levels at 1 day post-admission (P>0.05). However, after 3 and 6 months of treatment, Hb and Alb levels increased in all groups, with Group C showing the greatest improvement (P<0.05). iPTH, Ca, and P levels were similar across all groups on day 1 (P>0.05), but by 3 and 6 months, all groups showed reductions, with Group C having the lowest levels (P<0.05). Similarly, ALP, Scr, and BUN levels decreased in all groups over time, with Group C again demonstrating the greatest reduction (P<0.05). Conclusions: The combination of paricalcitol and cinacalcet was effective in reducing iPTH, calcium, phosphorus, and ALP and improving Hb and Alb levels in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism on maintenance hemodialysis. This treatment approach offers significant benefits in managing SHPT.
