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

backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is frequent in patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest (CA) and may worsen outcome. Experimental data suggest a renoprotective effect by treating these patients with a high dose of erythropoietin (Epo) analogues. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of epoetin alpha treatment on renal outcome after CA.

methodsWe did a

resultsA total of 162 patients were included in the primary analysis (74 in the Epo group, 88 in the control group). Baseline characteristics were similar in the two groups. At Day 2, 52.8% of the patients (38/72) in the intervention group had an AKI, as compared with 54.4% of the patients (46/83) in the control group (P = 0.74). There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the proportion of patients with AKI through Day 7. Among patients with persistent AKI at Day 2, 33% (4/12) in the intervention group had an eGFR <75 mL/min/1.73 m

conclusionAfter CA, early administration of Epo did not confer any renal protective effect as compared with standard therapy.
