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

Sepsis or septic shock is often accompanied by organ dysfunction, among which acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most frequent event that appears early during sepsis. To harness urinary metabolic profiling to discover potential biomarkers of septic acute kidney injury in pediatric patients at intensive care units, we collected urine samples from 27 septic children with AKI and 30 septic children without AKI. We used ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF/MS) for profiling and multiple regression analysis to explore the potential biomarkers of sepsis with AKI. We identified a clear distinction in the UPLC-QTOF/MS results for septic children with and without AKI after the development of sepsis, specifically 18 and 17 metabolites with different levels at 12 and 24 h, respectively. Metabolic pathways associated with septic AKI included lipid metabolism, particularly processes involving glycerophospholipid metabolism. L-Histidine, DL-indole-3-lactic acid, trimethylamine N-oxide, and caprylic acid were uncovered as potential biomarkers of septic AKI at 12 h, while gentisaldehyde, 3-ureidopropionate, N4-acetylcytidine, and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol sulfate were identified as potential candidates at 24 h. We further found that combinations of metabolites were more effective diagnostic marker compared with individual metabolites, with an area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of 0.905 and 0.97 at 12 and 24 h, respectively. Our results indicated that metabolomic analysis could be a promising approach for identifying diagnostic biomarkers of pediatric septic AKI and helped elucidate the pathological mechanisms involved.
