Kidney Disease Awareness and Knowledge among Survivors ofAcute Kidney Injury.
Article in American journal of nephrology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07626268 (CONNECT-AKI), which is not on this map. Cited by 33 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) survivors are at risk for chronic kidney disease, recurrent AKI, and cardiovascular disease. The transition from hospital to ambulatory care is an opportunity to reduce these sequelae by launching self-care plans through effective patient education. How well AKI survivors are informationally prepared to apply kidney-specific self-care is unknown. The purpose of this study was to identify awareness and disease-specific knowledge among AKI survivors.
methodsWe performed a cross-sectional survey of AKI-related awareness and knowledge in 137 patients with Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes Stage II or III AKI near the time of hospital discharge. Patients were asked (1) "Did you experience AKI while in the hospital?" and (2) "Do you have a problem with your kidney health?" Objective knowledge of AKI was evaluated with a 15-item adapted version of the validated Kidney Knowledge Survey that included topics such as common causes, risk factors, and how AKI is diagnosed.
resultsMedian age was 54 (interquartile range 43-63) and 81% were white. Eighty percent of patients were unaware that they had experienced AKI and 53% were both unaware they had experienced AKI or had a "problem with their kidneys." Multivariable logistic regression identified being male and lack of nephrology consult as predictors of unawareness with ORs of 3.92 (95% CI 1.48-10.33) and 5.10 (95% CI 1.98-13.13), respectively. Less than 50% recognized nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, contrast, or phosphate-based cathartics as risk factors for AKI. Two-thirds of patients did not agree that they knew a lot about AKI and more than 80% desired more information.
conclusionsMost patients with moderate to severe AKI are unaware of their condition, lack understanding of risk factors for recurrent AKI, and desire more information. Patient-centered communication to optimize awareness, understanding, and care will require coordinated educational strategies throughout the continuum of AKI care.
