Risk of percutaneous renal biopsy of native kidneys in the evaluation of acute kidney injury.
Article in Clinical kidney journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
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.
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
backgroundPercutaneous renal biopsy (PRB) of native kidneys (NKs) to better understand and treat acute kidney injury (AKI) is being advocated, but little is known about the risk of complications.
methodsWe performed a retrospective study of PRB of NKs in 955 adults from 1991 to 2015 at an academic medical center with real-time ultrasound and automated biopsy needles. Patients undergoing PRB for evaluation of AKI (
resultsPatients biopsied for AKI were older (58 ± 16 versus 44 ± 16 years; P < 0.0001), with a higher serum creatinine (SCr) (4.5 ± 2.7 versus 1.8 ± 1.6 mg/dL; P < 0.0001) and lower hemoglobin (Hgb) (10.4 ± 1.7 versus 12.1 ± 2.1; P < 0.0001) and a greater proportion had an abnormal bleeding time (12.5% versus 7.4%, P 0.04), partial thromboplastin time (15.2% versus 5.3%, P < 0.0001) and/or prothrombin time (27.0% versus 12.8%; P < 0.0001) compared with not-AKI patients. Complications post-PRB were significantly greater in patients biopsied for AKI {11.3% versus 6.7%; P=0.04; odds ratio [OR] 1.78 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01-3.12]} with patients biopsied for AKI requiring more blood transfusions (10.0% versus 5.3%; P 0.02; OR 2.04 (95% CI 1.12-3.74)]. By multivariate analysis, baseline features predictive of a complication were increased SCr and decreased Hgb level, as well as female gender and increased systolic blood pressure.
conclusionPatients biopsied for evaluation of AKI are at greater risk of complications due to increased risk factors.
