AKI in early sepsis is a continuum from transient AKI without tubular damage over transient AKI with minor tubular damage to intrinsic AKI with severe tubular damage.

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
purposeThe pathophysiology of septic acute kidney injury (AKI) is incompletely understood, and there is controversy on the role of renal hypoperfusion in early sepsis. We hypothesized that renal hypoperfusion plays a role in early sepsis and that there is a continuum between transient AKI without tubular damage, transient AKI with minor tubular damage, and intrinsic AKI.
methodsA total of 107 consecutive patients with sepsis were included. Fractional excretion of sodium (FENa), urinary, and serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin were measured at admission (T0) and 4 h (T4) and 24 h later (T24). Patients were classified according to FENa quartiles (FENaQ). Transient and intrinsic AKI were respectively defined as AKI that did or did not recover to no AKI in the following 5 days.
resultsA total of 57 developed transient AKI, 22 developed intrinsic AKI, and 28 did not have AKI. Of the ten patients with transient AKI classified in the two lowest FENa quartiles (FENa < 0.36 %) and without signs of local tubular damage, seven still did not show signs of tubular damage 24 h later. Also, 50 % of patients with intrinsic AKI classified in the same FENaQ did not show signs of local tubular damage at admission but did so 24 h later.
conclusionsThere is a continuum between transient AKI without tubular damage, transient AKI with minor tubular damage, and intrinsic AKI in sepsis. Renal hypoperfusion seems to be the instigator for the development of AKI in the majority of patients with early sepsis. Other mechanisms in some patients cannot be excluded.
