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

BACKGROUND/

aimA retrospective study of cases with metastatic or advanced solid tumors complicated with AKI (acute kidney injury) with prerenal azotemia. PATIENTS AND

methodsCriteria included: (1) advanced or metastatic solid tumors that led to mortality; (2) prerenal azotemia identified upon renal function evaluation and (3) BUN to Cr ratio (BCR)≥15. We also compared the outcomes of patients with BCR>20 with those of patients with BCR=15-20.

resultsA total of 218 patients with solid tumors were enrolled. One hundred and forty (64%) and 78 (36%) patients had BCR>20 and 15-20, respectively. Before AKI occurrence, 136 (62%) had thromboembolic complications and 96 (44%) paraneoplastic syndromes. Median survival time was 1 week in all patients. Median survival time was statistically different between the groups with BCR15-20 and BCR>20 (p<0.005, log-rank test).

conclusionCancer patients with concurrent AKI and prerenal azotemia carry a very poor prognosis.
