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

Managing hyperphosphatemia remains a challenging feat in the dialysis population. In 2023, tenapanor, a sodium hydrogen exchanger inhibitor, was approved in the United States for treating hyperphosphatemia in adults with chronic kidney disease receiving dialysis. This narrative review evaluated the recent literature on tenapanor, its effects on serum phosphate, and the achievement of target serum phosphate reference ranges in individuals undergoing peritoneal and hemodialysis. In addition to efficacy, this review examined the prevalence of drug-induced diarrhea. Twelve articles met the inclusion criteria. Results indicate clinical and statistical differences in the mean change in serum phosphate and a greater tendency to achieve serum phosphate target reference ranges among individuals receiving dialysis who take tenapanor compared with those who do not. These findings support using tenapanor independently or in conjunction with phosphate binders to treat hyperphosphatemia. However, drug-induced diarrhea may lead to discontinuation of tenapanor therapy. Future research should focus on nutrition counseling to mitigate drug-induced diarrhea and extend tenapanor tolerance in individuals receiving dialysis.
