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

backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication after major surgery, which may lead to increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to identify cost and determinants of AKI after total joint arthroplasty.

methodsA retrospective case-controlled study was conducted with 1719 primary elective total hip or knee replacements performed from January 2004 through September 2015 at an urban teaching hospital. Patients who developed AKI were matched in a 1:3 ratio with those in a control group who did not develop AKI based on age, sex, race, operated joint, and comorbidities including hypertension and diabetes. Increased postoperative serum creatinine was considered indicative of AKI.

resultsFifty-four patients (3.1%) had AKI that was significantly associated with increased length of hospital stay (8.07 days) compared with that of the control group (4.50 days,

conclusionsHealth-care providers and patients should work together to manage risk factors and to lower the risk of morbidity and mortality, longer in-hospital stay, and high associated costs of AKI.
