The Charlson Comorbidity Index: can it predict the outcome in acute kidney injury?
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2020. 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
purposeComorbidity has a significant impact on the health status and treatment outcome of a patient. The Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) is a frequently used scoring system, which evaluates the prognosis based on the patient's comorbid conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of CCI in predicting the mortality and renal recovery in non-critically ill patients with severe AKI.
methodsA total of 530 adult patients who were referred from the emergency department and underwent intermittent urgent hemodialysis (uHD) were enrolled in the study. Personal history for comorbidities were recorded and then assessed using the CCI.
resultsThe mean CCI score was 3.3 ± 2.6. In our multivariate analysis, higher white blood cell count was associated with mortality (p = 0.023). The other parameters including CCI score were not found to be significantly associated with mortality excluding patients with sepsis. Moreover, the CCI was not significantly useful in the discrimination of patients with complete recovery from patients who remained dependent to dialysis.
conclusionsWe could not find significant association between CCI and short-term hospital mortality and renal outcome. Whereas, malnutrition, inflammation and general aging may have impact on short-term mortality among patients.
