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

It is unclear whether serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels rise in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI), and it is also unclear whether the elevation of PCT levels in this setting is independent of the existence of infection and impaired renal clearance. We conducted a retrospective study in a regional teaching hospital in Taiwan to evaluate the AKI-predictive ability of serum PCT among critically ill patients. We enrolled 330 patients (mean age, 70.5 ± 16.4 years; 57.0% men) who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) from 1 July 2016, to 31 December 2016, and who had serum PCT measurement performed within 24 h after ICU admission. We used the generalized additive model and generalized linear model to evaluate the association of serum PCT levels and renal function variables. In addition, we used the multivariate logistic regression method to demonstrate serum PCT level as an independent predictor of AKI in both the non-infected patients (odds ratio (OR) = 1.38, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.12-1.71,
