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

backgroundCalciprotein particles (CPP) are nanoparticles that play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). HYPOTHESIS/

objectivesIdentification of plasma CPP and preliminary exploration of the relationships among CPP concentrations, calcification propensity (T50), and CKD-MBD variables in cats with azotemic CKD. ANIMALS: Cats with azotemic CKD (n = 52) stabilized on a phosphate-restricted diet (PRD).

methodsTotal CPP (T-CPP), low-density CPP (L-CPP), and high-density CPP (H-CPP) were measured in heparinized plasma using a fluorescent bisphosphonate (OsteoSense) after gel filtration. Standardized linear regression models evaluated associations among CPP, T50, and CKD-MBD variables. Generalized estimating equations compared preprandial and postprandial CPP concentrations. Calciprotein particle changes (ΔCPP) between visits were compared between cats with different ionized calcium (iCa) trajectories using independent samples t-test or Mann-Whitney U tests.

resultsFibroblast growth factor-23 (standardized coefficient [sβ], 0.35; P = .04) and parathyroid hormones (sβ, -0.34; P = .042) were significantly associated with preprandial T-CPP concentrations in cats fed a PRD, whereas phosphate was significantly associated with postprandial T-CPP (sβ, 0.72; P = .003) and L-CPP (sβ, 0.75; P = .003) concentrations before dietary phosphate restriction. ΔT-CPP was significantly greater in cats with CKD with uptrend iCa compared to those with downtrend iCa after PRD stabilization (14 105 ± 36 299 AU vs -29 495 ± 49 664 AU; P = .036). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Calciprotein particle measurement is possible in cats and adds to the assessment of CKD-MBD, particularly the risk of soft tissue mineralization. The trajectory of iCa after PRD might influence CPP concentrations in cats with CKD.
