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

The aim of the present study was to analyze the diagnostic value of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in renal injury in asphyxiated preterm infants. In total, 48 cases of asphyxiated preterm infants, 45 cases of premature infants and 45 cases of normal newborn infants were included in the study. Using ELISA we evaluated the level of urine NGAL, kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), cystatin C (Cys-C) and serum creatinine (Scr). We also calculated the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Our results showed that NGAL, KIM-1 and Cys-C levels in the group of asphyxiant renal injury within 24 and 48 h were markedly higher than the other two groups (P<0.05), while changes in Scr and eGFR within 24 h were not significant (P>0.05). Scr level in renal injury group within 48 h was markedly elevated while the eGFR level was visibly reduced (P<0.05). According to analysis of receiver operating characteristic curve, area under curve for NGAL in the group of asphyxiant renal injury within 24 and 48 h was significantly higher than KIM-1 and Cys-C. Susceptibility and specificity were improved. In conclusion, diagnosis of renal injury in asphyxia neonates using NGAL was more efficient compared to other methods.
