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

Background: Burosumab, a monoclonal antibody to fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), is effective for X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH). Renal effects, particularly calciuria and nephrocalcinosis, remain incompletely characterized. Methods: In this retrospective cohort, 13 children with genetically confirmed XLH (7 females, 6 males; 0.6-16.3 years) were evaluated after conversion from conventional therapy to burosumab. Longitudinal changes in serum phosphate, TmP/GFR, TRP, 1,25(OH)₂D, intact parathyroid hormone (PTH), and urinary calcium/creatinine (Ca:Cr) were assessed. Hypercalciuria was defined using age-specific SI thresholds; Ca:Cr was also expressed as ×ULN (Ca:Cr divided by the age-specific upper limit). Results: Burosumab improved serum phosphate ( Conclusion: Burosumab improves phosphate homeostasis in children with XLH, but a minority may develop hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis, potentially linked to PTH suppression. Vigilant biochemical and ultrasound monitoring-particularly early after conversion-and consideration of prophylaxis in high-risk cases are advisable.
