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

objectiveTo study the predictors of renal complications following hematotoxic snakebite in children.

methodsThis comparative study was conducted in the pediatric ward of a tertiary-care centre among 364 consecutively children admitted with hematotoxic snakebite between January 2016 and December 2017. Clinical and laboratory indicators were compared between children who developed acute kidney injury and those who did not.

resultsAcute kidney injury was seen in 139 children (38.2%), majority being stage 2 (55, 39.5%). 59 children (16.2%) developed permanent renal damage and 16 (4.4%) died due to envenomation. Acute tubular necrosis was the most common (25, 39.1%) histopathological change.

conclusionsReceiving anti-snake venom more than one hour after bite was the most significant adverse prognostic indicator, both for renal complications and mortality.
