Short-term Changes in Urine Beta 2 Microglobulin Following Recovery of Acute Kidney Injury Resulting From Snake Envenomation.
Article in Kidney international reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionUrine β2 microglobulin (β2m) is a validated marker to diagnose sepsis and toxin-related acute kidney injury (AKI). In the current study, we used urine β2m as a potential marker to identify persistent tubular dysfunction following a clinical recovery from snake venom-related AKI.
methodsA total of 42 patients who developed AKI following hemotoxic envenomation were followed up for a period of 6 months. Urine albumin excretion, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and urine β2m levels were measured at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months following discharge.
resultsAt the end of 6 months of follow-up, 6 patients (14.3 %) progressed to chronic kidney disease (CKD) (eGFR < 60 ml and/or urine albumin excretion > 30 mg/d). The urine β2m levels were 1590 μg/l (interquartile range [IQR] 425-5260), 610 μg/l (IQR 210-1850), 850 μg/l (IQR 270-2780) at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months, respectively (
conclusionsUrine β2m levels remain persistently elevated in approximately half of the individuals who recover from AKI due to snake envenomation.
