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

Point of care testing (POCT) using biomarkers in the emergency department reduces turnaround time for clinical decision making. An ideal biomarker should be accurate, reliable and easy to measure with a standard assay, non-invasive, sensitive and specific with defined cutoff values. Conventional biomarkers for renal injuries include rise in serum creatinine and fluid overload. Recently, neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), cystatin C, interleukin-18 (IL-18) and liver fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) have been studied extensively for their role in acute kidney injury associated with various clinical entities. Biochemical markers of ischaemic cardiac damage commonly used are plasma creatine kinase and cardiac troponins (cTn). Clinically valuable cardiac markers for myocardial injury in research at present comprise BNP/NT-proBNP and to a lesser extent, CRP, which are independent predictors of adverse events including death and heart failure. Current status of point of care biomarkers for diagnosis and prognostication of renal and cardiac injuries in pediatric emergency care is appraised in this review.
