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) has become a common complication of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and may have a significant impact on the clinical outcomes. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), an acute phase protein, has been identified as a novel biomarker for acute kidney impairment. Here, we studied the early expression of NGAL in AIS patients with AKI and its clinic value in predicting and diagnosis of AKI after stroke.

methodsA total of 205 subjects diagnosed as first-ever AIS were recruited in this study, including 40 AIS with AKI and 165 AIS without AKI defined using the KDIGO guidelines. The serum and urine levels of NGAL were measured with ELISA. To evaluate the clinic value of NGAL, we also detected creatinine, urea nitrogen and cystatin C and microalbumin (mALB) in serum or urine using chemiluminescence or immunoturbidimetry method, and then the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and correlation was analyzed. The severity of AIS patients was evaluated based on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score.

resultsThe serum and urine NGAL levels were significantly increased in AIS patients with AKI, and line regression analysis indicated that there was a positive correlation between the serum NGAL and creatinine level in AIS patients accompanied AKI. Additionally, the concentration of serum NGAL in AIS patients with AKI increased with the severity of stroke.

conclusionThe increased serum NGAL may be used as a valuable complementary marker for the diagnoses and prediction of AKI in the early stage of AIS patients.
