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

Hospital-acquired acute kidney injury (HA-AKI) is a heterogeneous renal syndrome which occurs in different clinical settings. It is characterized by multiple aetiologies, various pathogeneses and unpredictable outcomes. HA-AKI, once predominantly viewed as a self-limited and reversible short-term condition, is now recognized as a harbinger for chronic kidney disease and a cause of long-term morbidity with an increased risk of cardiovascular, renal and cancer mortality. Recent clinical studies contradict the generally held belief that female sex is a risk factor for HA-AKI. They show, consistent with basic research performed with experimental models of AKI, that only male sex is associated with HA-AKI. The presence of testosterone, more likely than the absence of estrogen, plays a critical role in sex differences in the susceptibility of ischemia/reperfusion kidney injury. The conflicting data in epidemiological studies related to sex as susceptibility variable for human AKI, underscore the need for more rigorous, well designed observational studies taking into account the menopausal status and hormone therapy.
