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
backgroundHemodialysis may lead to changes in serum levels of important parameters such as calcium and phosphorus, which can also affect the level of parathyroid hormone. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence and some causes of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in hemodialysis patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe population of this descriptive-cross-sectional study included 60 hemodialysis patients admitted to the hospital in the southeast of Iran, all of whom were enrolled in the study through convenience sampling. Sociodemographic characteristics, hematologic and biochemical indices, and serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were examined. A PTH hormone cut-off level of 300 picograms per deciliter was considered. Data were analyzed using an independent
resultThe mean age of the participants was 53.16 ± 8.60 years. Among these, 34 (56.7%) were diagnosed with SHPT, and 58 (96.7%) had underlying diseases. Additionally, 17 (28.3%) had abnormal calcium levels, 40 (66.7%) had abnormal phosphorus levels, four (6.7%) had abnormal alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and 19 (31.7%) had abnormal Ca × P. The mean levels of PTH (
conclusionBased on the results of this study, the higher levels of ALP in hemodialysis patients with SHPT suggest that regular monitoring of laboratory tests, particularly alkaline phosphatase, can be beneficial in the follow-up of these patients.
