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

backgroundPulmonary complications often occur in patients with acute kidney injury, and represent an important cause of death.

objectiveTo analyze the complexity of lung disorders in patients with RIFLE class III acute kidney injury undergoing hemodialysis and the physiopathological mechanisms that cause the various pulmonary complications.

methodsOur study included 74 clinical cases of acute kidney injury of various etiologies (severe sepsis, trauma, post-surgery, toxic, etc.). The respiratory function of these patients was monitored from the clinical and radiological points of view. Deceased patients underwent autopsy.

resultsPulmonary complications occurred in 47.24% of cases. Most pulmonary complications (over 50%) occurred in sepsis-induced acute kidney injury.Regarding the clinical aspects of pulmonary complications, the most frequent were ARDS, atelectasisand bronchopneumopathies, determined by the etiological factors that had caused the acute kidney injury in the first place, and by the acute kidney injury-induced physiological effects.

conclusions1. The frequency of pulmonary complications in acute kidney injury is very high and has a negative impact on the evolution and prognosis. 2. The etiology of the pulmonary complications is complex, as these are caused by the agents that induced the acute kidney injury in the first place, most frequently by septic shock. 3. Along with clinical and radiological evidence of pulmonary damage, severe pulmonary histological lesions were found in deceased patients, with a high contribution to the increased mortality rate.
