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

During hospital stay, about 20% of adult patients experience an episode of acute kidney injury (AKI), which is characterized by a rapid decrease in kidney function. Diagnostic tools regarding early diagnosis of kidney dysfunction prior to AKI and markers of renal recovery are not available. Additionally, there is no therapeutic option for the treatment of AKI. Thus, better and more specific diagnostic and therapeutic options are urgently needed in daily clinical practice. NoncodingRNAs (ncRNAs) have come into focus of research in the context of AKI in the last decade. The best characterized group of ncRNAs are microRNAs (miRNAs). An increasing body of literature has shown that miRNAs are involved in the pathogenesis of AKI and that they are promising future tools in the diagnosis and therapy of AKI. However, there are obstacles to be overcome before miRNAs can be transferred to patient care. This review will give an overview of our current knowledge of miRNA involvement in the context of AKI while critically evaluating their diagnostic and therapeutic potential.
