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

backgroundParenteral administration of ketorolac is very effective in controlling postoperative pain for orthopedic surgery. Ketorolac can induce clinically relevant renal alterations in elderly patients, whereas its short course is considered safe for young adults with normal preoperative renal function. In this study, of a cohort of young adults undergoing elective orthopedic day surgery, we sought cases complicated by readmission due to acute kidney injury (AKI). PATIENTS AND

methodsAmong 1397 young adults, aged 18-32 years who were admitted to undergo orthopedic day surgery from 2013 to 2015, four patients (0.29%, three males/one female) treated in postprocedure with ketorolac (from 60 to 90 mg/day for 1-2 days) were readmitted for suspected severe AKI. We evaluated functional outcome, urinary protein profiles and kidney biopsy (1 patient).

resultsAfter day surgery discharge, they experienced gastrointestinal disturbances, flank pain and fever. Readmitted on post-surgery days 3-4, they presented with oliguric AKI (creatinine range 158.4-466.4 µmol/L) and frank proteinuria (albumin range 2.1-6.0 g/L). Urine protein profiles demonstrated a nonselective glomerular proteinuria, with a significant 9.4-fold increase in glomerular/tubular index on day 6. Kidney biopsy on day 19 showed normal glomeruli and minimal tubular alterations and negative immunofluorescence. All patients recovered their renal function, and after 20 days proteinuria disappeared.

conclusionAKI can ensue even in young adults who have undergone a short course of ketorolac, when they suffered from relative dehydration, abdominal disturbances, flank pain and oliguria after discharge. Urine findings were characterized by a marked nonselective glomerular proteinuria disappearing in 2-3 weeks.
