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

We retrospectively examined the incidence, onset, risk factors, and outcomes of renal injury during 103 treatment courses of liposomal amphotericin B (L-AMB) in 97 adult patients with hematological malignancies. All the patients were analyzed before, during, and after the administration of L-AMB, and renal injury was graded according to the RIFLE criteria (risk, injury, failure, loss of function, end-stage renal disease). Most patients (87.3%) received L-AMB at 3 mg/kg of body weight/day. Nearly two-thirds (61.7%) of the treatment courses did not meet any RIFLE category for renal injury, while 19.4% of patients were classified at risk, 13.6% met an injury classification, and 5.8% were categorized as developing renal failure. However, 15% of the patients developed renal injury within 48 h of the onset of multiorgan failure associated with sepsis, bleeding, or progressing malignancy. When these patients were analyzed as a competing risk for L-AMB-associated renal injury (RIFLE category I or above) in a multivariate Cox regression model, receipt of cyclosporine (subhazard ratio [SHR], 2.62; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10 to 6.27;
