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

backgroundThere is a gradual increase in serum concentrations of protein-bound colon-derived uremic toxins indoxyl sulphate (IxS) and p-cresyl sulphate (pCS) as chronic kidney disease (CKD) progresses. In acute kidney injury (AKI), up till now, the retention pattern has not been studied.

methodsIn this study, 194 adult patients admitted with sepsis to the intensive care unit were included. IxS, pCS and serum creatinine (sCrea) were quantified at inclusion (D0) and at day 4, unless follow-up ended earlier (D

resultsSerum levels of sCrea (P < 0.001), IxS (P < 0.001) and pCS (P < 0.05) were higher in patients with AKI according to RIFLE classification at D0. In contrast with sCrea, IxS and pCS levels only increased from stage I (IxS) and F (pCS) on. When grouped according to evolution in RIFLE class from D0 to D

conclusionsAlthough concentrations of IxS and pCS both tend to rise in sepsis patients with AKI, their evolution does not conform with that of sCrea. For the same level of sCrea, IxS and pCS concentrations are lower in AKI compared with CKD.
