Acute kidney injury in the elderly population.
Review in International urology and nephrology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
The elderly population is more prone to acute kidney injury (AKI) than younger populations. Older patients have less renal reserve because of reduced glomerular filtration rates due to anatomic/functional changes, and concomitant diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, atherosclerosis, heart failure, ischemic renal disease, and obstructive uropathy. The risk of AKI may also increase as a result of aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, which include medical agents, radiology, and surgical intervention. AKI in the elderly has a multifactorial physiopathology due to different etiologies. Studies that have specifically compared prognosis of AKI in elderly versus young over the recent years suggest that age is a predictor of long-term outcome. In most cases, the treatment of AKI is similar for all age groups. The majority of critically ill patients with AKI will eventually need renal replacement therapy (RRT). The influence of RRT on renal outcome remains a subject of intense investigation and debate. Avoiding situations that could damage the kidney is an important strategy to prevent AKI development in the elderly, besides medical and interventional therapeutics.
