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

backgroundIdentifying individuals who are at increased risk for accelerated progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) and who might benefit from preventive interventions is an important challenge.

methodsThe present observational study evaluated the effect of an episode of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) on the evolution of the renal trajectory in a cohort of 311 ambulatory CKD patients. We analyzed the evolution of eGFR in this cohort within a 5-year time window around an AKI episode. The mean of the available eGFR-values over a 6 month period was calculated once at the start and once at the end of the 5-year period. Slow and fast CKD progression were defined as a decrease by respectively ≤ or >1 category of 15 ml/min/1.73 m(2) over the 5-year time window. The influence of AKI on progression status was analyzed.

resultsMedian eGFR decline over the 5 year period was 11, 22 and 6 ml/min/1.73 m(2) in the total, AKI and no AKI group respectively. AKI occurred in 44/72 versus 50/239 of fast versus slow progressors (odds ratio: 5.9, 95% confidence interval: 3.4-10.5). An incomplete recovery of eGFR after an AKI episode (median in overall, fast progressors, slow progressors 11, 20 and 4 ml/min/1.73 m(2) respectively) was the major component for the overall loss of renal function over the 5-year window. Our data failed to provide evidence that the CKD progression became more accelerated once kidney function was stabilized after the AKI episode.

conclusionsIncomplete recovery of AKI was related with accelerated CKD-progression. Episodes of AKI were not associated with an accelerated decline of kidney function once the AKI episode had resolved. In the group without AKI episode, the progression was similar to that of the general population without CKD.
